Passing & Receiving (5 mins)

Objective:

Work on passing and receiving while introducing triangulation to provide player on the ball with two passing options.

Instructions:

Passing & Receiving Square

Red Arrow - Player movement in clockwise direction

Black Arrow - Ball movement counter clockwise

A Passes to B who is running to the gated cones to receive the pass.

B Receives and passes to C running to the gated cones to receive the pass.

C Receives and passes to A who is running to receive the next pass.

The players are passing and moving, in the sequence above. Work on the timing, accuracy, and weights of their passes. Remember to switch directions.

Coaching Points

1.Accuracy & weights of pass

2.Contact areas (part of the ball, part of the foot)

3. Body position (keep an open body position when receiving the ball)

3V1 - SSG (15 mins)

Organization:

Create a 20X10 Area which will be split in half.

Instructions:

The red team play 3v1 and are allowed to move anywhere inside the square while maintaining their triangle shape. One player on the yellow team enters the other half to defend and win the ball back. Upon winning the ball, the yellow player plays it back into his/her own half and attempt to keep possession with their team and a red player crosses half to regain possession. (1 point for every 5 passes)

Progressions

- Add a goal at the end whereby upon winning the ball, the defender can try to score. If they score they get a point and also start with possession. if they miss their team continues defending

- Second defender can enter after 5 passes

Coaching Points:

1. Accuracy & weights of pass

2. Contact areas (part of the ball, part of the foot)

3. Body position (keep an open body position when receiving the ball)

5. Disguising your pass
