Warm Up / Activation (20 mins)

ORGANISATION:

8-10 Players, box in the middle 4x4 and larger box 20x20, 8 cones, plenty of balls.

HOW TO PLAY:

Player follows their pass, wingers make a run, the 4 outside players drop into space as an option.

COACHING POINTS:

Scanning, movement, first touch, striking the ball with good weight. Receiving wide after short pass through the middle, looking to play forward using wide channels.

CHANGE IT / PROGRESSIONS:

Add wall passes with different positions, two balls, go different directions.
When steeping it up the wide player (8) plays the ball to the midfield (3), its easier for players to rotate around the outside and the players in the middle to rotate instead of them following their pass. Look for players dropping into the deep position for safety ball.
