Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): U10B Receving

4 corners possession game (15 mins)

Organisation:

40 x 30 metre pitch; corner areas marked out (5 x 5 metres); 12 players

Objective:

To develop short passing, ball control and team possession with an active opposition

Description:

Play 6 v 6 with 2 players from each team located in 2 opposite corners of a square area of play. The teams try to keep posession of the ball changing the direction from one corner diagonally to the other.

When a player passes to a player in the corner, that player must control the ball and dribble into the main play area and the player that gave them the ball takes their position in the corner (they swap).

Coaching points:

- Passes should be fast and accurate.

- Body shape of players should always be half-turned, aware of the team mates and the opposition.

- When a player in the corner box eceives the ball, their teammates need to make supported angles runs to the left and right.

- Quick combinations are needed and passes should be made into the player's path.
