Warm up (5 mins)

In separate teams, have the groups dribbling with the ball at close control at all times not stopping.

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Must try to dribble with head up scanning for space to dribble into away from other players
Every 30 seconds on the whistle stop, control ball and carry out a skill called out by a coach e.g 10 x toe taps, stepovers, keepy uppies, dribble with weak foot only etc
To create competitiveness and dribbling with speed get the teams to race to the opposition box whilst keeping control of the ball at all times

One touch passing (15 mins)

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

One touch pass with inside of foot along ground
One touch take down and pass from ball in flight in one motion

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Navigate hurdles at pace
Coach calls cone to run onto
Coach passes ball along ground to oncoming player who returns pass with single touch using inside of foot
On next progression, after player has returned pass they are to reach the adjacent cone as quick as possible to receive and return another pass along the ground
If this is being carried out with relative ease, the next progression is for the coach to throw the ball underarm towards the oncoming player having completed hurdles to pass the ball back to the coach in the air. The player's foot should be pointed downwards and the ball should be impacting the front part (laces) so that it helps control and cushion the return pass back into the arms of the coach.

Possession game (20 mins)

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

Small sided game where team has to focus on keeping possession utilising the dribbling skills and one touch passing and receiving from previous drills.

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Team who has ball after every 30 seconds has a point
If players on outside of pitch (all neutral) are successfully passed to with ball this will also earn a point
If there is too much bunching, grid area so certain players can enter separate zones only.
Players should be regularly scanning to find space to receive ball and lose opposition markers
