Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): SM #122: Possession to Corners - 3 Teams

Possession to Corners (20 mins)

Session Organization:

• Field: Set up a square or rectangle ~25 yards each side. 2 cones on each corner to create 4 triangular zones. 
• Players: Split into 3 teams of 4. One team has each player stand in a corner zone to play as neutrals. Remaining two teams play against each other for possession in the middle. 
• Teams that make 5 successful passes in a row rotate with the team in the corners. 
• Neutrals play 1 touch. 

Coaching Points:

• Work as a Unit of 4, not as an individual or a pair. Move to anticipate and support each other's next pass before they're needed. 
• The 5 passes must be consecutive. Increase or decrease the # based on coach's priorities.
• Take advantage of all the space on the field, and make use of the Neutrals. 

Progressions:

• Add a central goal or 2 goals on the endlines. Now, the team that successfully makes 5 passes can attack the goal and rotate to the Neutrals position after their shot attempt (whether successful or unsuccessful).
