Skill practice (15 mins)

Organization:

12 Players 2x 20x20 Area

This skill practice encourages players to have awareness and movements to create space and receive the ball

Instructions:

Area with 2 target players at either side as target players on opposite sides. Yellow's attempt to pass and combine to pass the ball from one T player to opposite T player. Blue's attempt to pass the ball from one T player to opposite T player

Coaching Points:

Awareness - Players checking shoulders to gain an understanding of where the space, ball, team mates and opposition are on the pitch. This will allow players to be aware of the movement that is required to create space to receive the ball.

Movement to receive - It is important that players understand why they are moving. Players are moving off the ball to either receive the ball themselves or to create space for a team mate. Here are two ways a player can move off the ball to receive. 1. Player moves away from the ball dragging the defender with them and then checks into the space to receive a pass. 2. Player pushes off the defender and performs a 2 yard movement which will create a passing line to receive the ball.

Rotation of players to create space - Players now working with units to exploit each others space. If one player moves away from the ball then another player should be able to recognise and exploit the space left to receive the ball. Rotation can be as simple as exchanging positions.

SSG (20 mins)

Organization:

12 Players

This small sided game develops players movement to create space, through width, depth and rotations, to receive the ball.

Instructions:

Central playing area is divided into 4 triangles. 2 x teams of 6 players. In possession, once a player has passed the ball they must leave that triangle for a team mate to enter (Rotation).

Coaching Points:

Rotation - Rotation of players to create space for you or team mate to receive & to unbalance defenders.

Quick passing & combinations - Combinations can only be performed if there is good movement off the ball. Players need to be able to play of 1 and 2 touches and understand where the space is after they have made the pass so they can receive the ball back.

Width & depth - Players should make the pitch big by going wide and high. Forwards should stretch the pitch which will allow space in the middle for players to move into.

Progressions:

Limit the touches to emphasize the timing of the pass and movement of the player.
