Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): June 26 - Boys U9 Passing Block 10 Session 1

Pass and Get Out (10 mins)

Organization: 10 min

Set up : cones, balls, grid size to match players abilities (18 yard box)

Activity:  Four to Five Players have a ball, their job is to dribble and find space. Players that don't have a ball look to want the ball ( Communicate)

The Player with the ball looks to pass to an open player when the opportunity is right. First round play to anyone, Second Round play only to your team colour. Third round play to another colour.

Players without the ball need to create a good angle to receive the ball

(good communication) - Eye Contact, vocal, body  

Once the player, passes the ball they must get out of the grid (furthest cone possible) as quick as they can. Once they get back in can they look to get a ball.

Challenge: Every time you receive the ball with your foot you get a point.
