Organization: 10-15 min

Set up : pinnies, balls, grid size to match players abilities

they can make in one min. Players look to pick a gate and look to play through that gate to their partner. Chose one person on each team to count the

passes out loud. Must Play passed through the gate .

Passes only count if proper technique is used, the pass is accurate,

and firm. Players from the opposite team cannot intercept the ball.

Cant be the same gate twice in a row.

Progression 2: The coach can look to block gates

Progression: Create a 3 v 2

Challenge change the pitch parameters (make them smaller - less space)

Activity

-Play starts with Player/Team passing into the attackers (BLUE).

Two attackers create a triangle with the player playing in (Angle of support)

Attackers need to open up (Body POSITION) facing forward to receive with the correct foot

(Back Foot)

Ist Defender (RED) looks to close down the attacker and win the ball.

If they do win the ball, they can look to score in either pug net, and or gate.

The Attacker needs to decide whether to pass or to take on the defender. If the attacker (Support without the ball ) creates a good angle (opens up, facing forward ) this might be a better option The Attackers look to score (Big Goal)

If the defenders win the ball - defender can dibble/pass it into either mini net/cone.

Coaching Points:

-good decision-making -read the defenders movement and positioning - should I dribble into the space or pass to open team mate, "suck" defender in and "pass to pass" the defender, attack with good speed, finish with accuracy

-ask the players- where else could you have run?

-instead of passing what else could you have done.
