Warm-up (15 mins)

Organization:12 players

3 players per group of 3 cones (triangle), 2 players w/ ball on the base of triangle, 1 player w/o ball on top of the triangle.

Instructions:

Player on top of the triangle checks to one of the players with the ball.

The player with the ball passes to the checking player on the outside foot, player then takes a touch and passes back with outside foot.

Goes around the go and checks to the other player and does the same action.

Coaching Points:

Proper shape of the body (opening up to receive and pass the ball).

Proper passing technique (foot shape: toe up, heel down, ankle locked), plant foot pointed at the target, strike through the center of the ball, follow through straight at the target.

Passing/receiving with the proper foot.

Progressions:

Start with two touch, then the player at the top of the triangle can go one touch. Again passing players must pass to the proper foot.

Variation: Player at the top starts on the "inside" of the cone, receives the ball, then cuts across the cone to the outside and passes back with the opposite foot.

Makes the players move side to side, as well as developing the touch to cut across the defender if needed.

Main Activity (25 mins)

Organization:12 players (6v.6)

40x20 grid (can alter to fit your players ability or numbers), endzones 5x10

4v4 inside endzones, 1 per team in each endzone.

Instructions:

Goal is to connect endzone without losing possession.

Team gets one point everytime they get it from one endzone player to the other w/o losing possession.

Can start at endzone.

Players inside the endzone cannot defend each other, but can move laterally to receive the ball.

Rotate endzone players every 5 min or so. (or when a team reaches a certain point total, ex rotate after a team gets to 5 pts)

Coaching Points:

Opening up quickly to see the field, and to know where you are going next before receiving the ball.

Constantly checking where the pressure is coming from, so the next pass is played well.

Movement off the ball to either relieve pressure or take players away to create space and time for teammates.

Using the entire space given, opening up at the touchline so you can see the entire playing space and always running forward/into space rather than going "backwards"/turning into the touchline.

When to pass and when to dribble and take space.

Communication, communication, and more communication.

Progressions:

When the ball is played the endzone player, the endzone player dribbles out and the player who passed the ball now becomes the new endzone player.

Creates more movement, and no more stoppages to rotate the endzone player.

Teaches players to fill space left by teammates and to maintain "balance".

You can add touch min. or max. depending on the ability of your players.

Coaching Points:

Trying to hit the target ASAP so they can go foward and score.

Movement after passing to the target player to improve ones position to receive and/or shoot on goal. (the 1-2 between the MF and FWD)

Pass and move at all times.

Communication

Progressions:
