Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Developing Passing Patterns out of the Back

Y Passing (10 mins)

2 grids of 20x30 / 15 min / (5:55 - 6:10)

players split up accordingly to the 2 grids

Receive - Receiving ball with correctly weighted touch into space

Retain - Ability to retain the ball after the initial touch and set up the release

Release - Having head up between touches to recognize open players and feeding to the open player with a correctly weighted and accurate pass

1) A passes to B

B turns to pass to C

C passes to E

D times run around C

E passes to C

C passes to G

Next run the player is B postion passes the other direction to F

2-A passes B

B passes to E

C suppports E and completes wall pass

D times overlapping run around C

E passes to D

D passes to G

next run goes opposite direction

Coaching Points

Communication - Help each other out on where play needs to go to. Make each other better!!

Open body position to recieve ball and non verbally communicate to passer which foot to pass to

Receive ball with correct weight into space

1 touch when we can, 2 touch when we need to

Quality!!!!!! Take an extra touch when needed to keep quality, Do not compound one bad play with another

Technical / Passing Pattern B (20 mins)

2 grids 20x20 diamond with last marker 20 out

Split team into 2 groups as evenly as able

Pass and follow in same rotation

2 minutes and change alternate defenders in that phase

B checks off of marker and receives pass from A

C checks off of marker and advances on flank

D checks off of marker to opposite side as C and receives pass from B

D bumps a pass to C 

E checks off of marker to near side and receives pass from C

E plays combination with D

E then dribbles to start

Coaching Points:

Check off quickly and late if able

Open body to see where you want to play next

 Can you see where you are going to play

Receive with back foot / Quality first touch

Passes with pace and accuracy

D needs to make late run to E for combination

Check out to move defenders

 Create passing lanes / force defenders to make decisions

QUALITY!!!!!

Progression:

1)B chooses who to play to

 Keep it random and match like

2)#9 as a defender

 Can only defend the passing lanes from B

 B must decide where to play to in order to break lines

3)Change #9 to a #7 and add a #6/8

 #7 defends the same

 #6/8 defends the pass to either C or E
