Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Possession: 2v2+2 (II)

Main Theme

Organization:

1. 20X20 grid

2. 8 players per grid split equally into teams of 4 players.

3. 2 players from each team should align themselves diagonally across the field from each other at two of the corners (outside the grid).

4. The remaining players play 2v2 inside the grid.

Instructions:

1. Players play 2v2 in the middle of the grid and attempt to play one of their outlet players on their team.

2. Once a pass is made to the outside player the players switch, so the outside players dribbles or passes in to their teammate and plays 2v2. The player passing to the outside player takes his spot and becomes the target player at his cone.

3. The new attacker play 2v2 in attempt to combine with their teammate at the other corner. If corner is denied by the defending players, the team should play to their most open diagonal player in attempt to keep possession of the ball.

4. If the defensive team wins the ball they become the attackers and attempt to keep possession as described above.

Coaching Points:

1. Play with speed and constantly moving to open up and give options to the player with the ball.

2. Supporting players give good supporting angles and get into undefended space in order to receive the pass.

3. Passes should be made to keep possession and players should keep scanning the field in attempt to find the most space and least amount of pressure.

Progressions:

1. Expand the grid and play 3v3 in the middle of the grid.

2. Limit the number of touches.
