Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): 4 Corner Passing Game SSG

SSG (20 mins)

Area Size:

50 x 30 for 4v4/5v5

you may want to make smaller if you want to make two fields for say 2 lots of 3v3

Reds look to defend the two squares on their side and the blues defend their two squares. Reds attack left to right and blues vice versa.

Scoring:

A point is scored for a succesful pass to a team mate who makes a run into one of the squares that your team is attacking. If a point is scored the opposition starts with the ball and look to attack.

If the ball goes out play with a kick in ( no corners or kicks from behind line) coach can feed new ball or defending team starts play back up.

Try to ensure players do not "goal hang" - by literally standing and waiting in a square.

Defending team cannot enter the square they defend otherwise they lose a point.

Progression:

- If players understand drill well - you can make it multi directional ( they can score in any square and if they score they keep the ball)

Coaching Points:

- Work as a team to pass together

- Do not crowd the ball

- Find space away from defenders

- Once you pass the ball - what should you do?

- Ensure players control passes with inside of their foot and not "stamp on the ball" - ball likely to go under foot.
