Warm Up A - Moving with ball & passing into possession (15 mins)

Set-up: 5 players in each box 15x15yd with one ball

1) Players pass and move in the area. Slow Tempo - Encourage dribbling with ball, lots of touches then play pass and perform dynamic stretches.

2) Increasing tempo and after playing a pass must not standstill but move away to edge of area (side steps, heels or knees up)

3) Match tempo and two touch before playing pass. On command play pass to next box. Move to one touch if you can.

4) Players continue to pass and move in the box. When coach shouts switch players pass ball in a clockwise direction to the next box. Player who passes the ball, also chases ball to close down players creating a 4v1 situation in the box.

Coaching Points:

Encourage players to move after pass and change of pace when checking away to edge of box.
Communication and head-up to increase awareness. Body shape when receiving ball. First touch away from body to set-up next pass.
Make area as large as possible when in 4v1 to stretch play. Timing of runs must be early. Quality of pass.

Warm-up B - Passing (Intermediate) (10 mins)

Set up: Two teams of 2+2 outside players in box 10x10yd with one ball per team. 4 of each colour, oranges play with oranges and blacks play with blacks.

1) Players on inside pass and move, combining inside the area between themselves and the outside players. Increasing tempo.

2) Swap inside and outside players. Introduce option of playing switch pass i.e wall to wall. This will change movement of inside players who must show for teammate on wall.

3) Progression - a) When player shouts switch after playing pass to wall player, they swap position with wall player. b) restrict wall players to one touch.

Coaching Points:

Passing - Accuracy and weight. First touch away from body to set-up next pass, may have to delay pass due to traffic.
Movement - Encourage players to move after pass and change of pace. Body shape when receiving ball. Outside players not static, always making themselves available.
Communication - All 4 talking & pointing. Telling team mate if they have time to turn or not. Head-up to increase awareness and scanning behind.

Small sided attack v defence (2v1, 2v2 3v2 etc) (15 mins)

Set up: Coach feeds ball from side for 2v1s and 2v2s with both teams starting from wide behind each of their goals.

1) 2v2 first team to score then both pairs of players leave pitch.

2) Introduce an end player for each team so now 1+1 v 1 +1 or 2+1 v 2+1 etc. Don't have to use a pass for end player.

Coaching Points:

Decision making: When to take players on / when to pass when to shoot ? Timing and sharpness of movement. Encourage attacking players to be direct.

Defending team, close down early with pressing player closest to ball. Communication. Force player on to weaker foot.

Use of end player to create different angles and timing of that pass.
