Possession overload game (10 mins)

Place players into group of 6 inside a pitch. Split group three pairs with diffrent colours on. One pair will play as defenders against the other pairs making a 4v2. The 4 need to keep possession of the ball vs the 2. If the 2 win the ball, the pair who lost possession become the new defenders.

To make it easier if required, just keep the same defenders for a time and then rotate them in.

Can add challenges like make 5 passes etc. 

Main focus is to keep the ball away from contact and for players to move into space. Ball carrier to not take the ball into contact and carry to space and find a pass into space.

Roll outs (10 mins)

In groups of around 4 performing this drill working on Roll Outs. 

Set up, cones around a stick length apart which each set around 5 meters apart. 

Roll out technique:

  • Stay low (toilet position)
  • Stick on the ball the whole time (like glue)
  • When approaching the left hand side cone
    • place stick over the ball
    • Plant your right foot over the ball and pivot around your left foot. Sticking you bum into the cones (defender). Protecting/shielding the ball from the defender.
    • Drive away into the space (non stick side)
    • Accelerate away into the space (run away)
  • Try and ensure the first part of the roll out is quite tight and then wide keeping the ball away from the defender and using your body to protect the ball.

Try to encourage pupils to use roll outs when under pressure to keep possession and recycle play or eliminate and attack the non stick side. Look for players to move into space.
