1V1 (10 mins)

Session Organisation:

Cones set up as mini goals at each end
2 Players each end with an opponent
One ball per 'pitch (keep some spare!)
Add another pitch if more than 14
Only have one or 3 wall player based on numbers

Session

Player passes to opposite number which starts 1v1 game
Player can use his team mattes for a wall pass only (players on end line must stay there - or to disguise a pass!)
Key to attack with speed. If defender wins the ball he can go on and attack
Stop the game if it goes on too long (should be 1 minute?)
Key - close control, Change of direction, and speed

Progressions

Once the player controls the pass the 2 defenders behnid can also join the game (ie 1v3)
This puts extra emphasis on attacking with speed
Extra additon of if the defenders win the ball the other attackers can come on!

3v3 (10 mins)

Session Organisation:

Cones remain in the middle
Keep the 2 (3) pitches
3 vs 3 (uneven numbers is fine!)
Have spare balls!

Session:

Normal mini game of 3 vs 3 (its okay to be uneven numbers!)
If you score a goal you have to dribble a ball from the opposition end to your end through the cones. Hit a cone its no goal.
Winning team 'steals' all the balls.
Players can also be sent to dribble the ball (and therefore steal) for good play (keeps involvement high)

Swap teams and play a few times.
