Brazilian passing

Coaching Points:  Brazillian Passing 

One player is sitting on the ground and serves the ball to the other player who then passes the ball back to the sitting player the sitting player then serves the other foot.  This continues for 20 passes per foot.  

Coaching Points:

  • Non kicking foot points to the target
  • Use the inside of the kicking foot to pass the ball
  • Inside of kicking foot follows through to the target
  • strike the ball when it is below and slightly in front.  Don't reach.
  • Toe up 
  • Ankle locked
  • Stay on your toes and develop a rhythm


Turn it into a game where the first one to get both players to 40 total passes with both feet wins.  The must count out the passes outloud.

Right Left FarAway

Coaching Points:4 v 0 Passing Diamonds 

We will work on moving and passing.

When a player has a ball they must have a left, right and far away option.

They constantly move to provide this support shape

  • Look up all the time at the other players every time the ball moves.  You need to get to where you are constantly scanning the field
  • Play firm passes.  
  • Dont ever let the ball stop. (1st touch to 2nd touch)
  • Know that this will become a game and it is easier to learn this with out pressure.
  • This is the key to playing possession (possession with a purpose is what we are building to)
  • Play the way you face. Don't turn into pressure

Diamond Transition

Coaching Points:  4 v 1 to 4v3

One side plays 4 v 1 and tries to hold onto the ball.  When the defender wins the ball they play it back to their group and goes back to their grid.  That team then trys to play keep away from a defender that comes over to defend.  Keep this going.  Score goals by connecting 5-10 passes depending on the success rate. If they are successful and it is too easy send over 2 defenders at a time.  Then three etc...

  • Look up all the time at the other players every time the ball moves. You need to get to where you are constantly scanning the field
  • Play firm passes.  
  • Dont ever let the ball stop. (1st touch to 2nd touch)

Flying Changes in the Midfield

Coaching Points:  (Flying Changes) Notice this is an attack vs. defense practice in the middle of the field.   This way the players start getting used to the players around them that they will play with in the game.  Make sure you mix up the players so that they all get a chance to play with each other. They can score on any of the three goals they are attacking.  Rememeber the lessons from the Left - Right and Far away activity.  The player with the ball must always have these options.  

  • Look up all the time at the other players every time the ball moves. You need to get to where you are constantly scanning the field
  • Play firm passes.  
  • Dont ever let the ball stop. (1st touch to 2nd touch)
  • This is the key to playing possession (possession with a purpose is what we are building to)
  • First look is always forward.  
  • The second is to keep possession either through the switching of play or dropping the ball back
  • Play the way you face.  Don't turn into pressure
  • Body shape is always key
  • Firm passes
  • Once you pass the ball you look immediately to support your teammates no matter where the ball is.
  • When you see open space in front of you attack that space on the dribble (wide players)
  • Have the keepers play with the defensive players so that they get used to playing with their feet with the back line.

Coaching Points:  Always end with a scrimmage.  Don't coach during this time but let them play and figure it out.  Keep score and losers can clean up the field.  Play the regular rules of the game.
