Get to know your partner:

The players will pass the ball to anyone (moving every time they pass the ball). They will receive the ball from somebody else.

The player will call the person's name they are passing two. 

They will get into pairs and do the same thing but to them.

Etihad vs Old Trafford

Same drill but now in a smaller space. Blues have to keep it in the Etihad half and Reds have to keep it in the Old Trafford half. 

If the reds tackle the blues they have to get over to the red half. Play 3 times for a 1 min and 30 secs.

Key points:

  • You between the man and the ball
  • low to the ground
  • ball furthest away
  • As soon as I get the ball can I take a big touch into the other half to get away from my partner.
