Coaching Points:

Can you play through/over/around the opposition? Which option is better in which scenarios?
Can you scan before receiving the ball to decide where is best to take your first touch?
Can you play the ball in the direction you are facing?

Organisation:

The middle cone is placed 10yrds from the start cone with the other 2 cones places 8 yards diaganolly from the middle cone.
One player will be on each of the cones with 3 players on the starting cone. Each player on the starting cone will have a ball each with spares to the side of them.
As shown in the diagram the ball will be bounced by the player in the middle cone and then played out diaganolly before the ball gets played across for the last player to dribble the ball back to the start.
Once the player has played the ball to the next player they will move to the next cone to set ready for the next ball.

Progressions:

Once the players get the hang of going one way round can you challenge them to work the other way.
Test the players to see if they are able to work off 1/2 touches whilst moving the ball.

Organisation:

30x20m area split into 5 smaller areas.
Their will be 2 players on the outside with a 3v3 on the inside with a magic man in the middle.
The players on the sides have a free role to move up and down the outside areas on both sides.
They are aiming to work the ball from one side to the other without losing possession of the ball.

Progression:

We then look to introduce players on the in possession team to trying to play through different areas of the pitch.
Players now have to look to stay in separate areas then their teammates but if they are in the same area they need to combine in the area to move out of it.
If players can play through 3 of the 5 squares before playing it out they will earn an extra point.

Organisation:

30x20m area with a mini goal placed on each side of the area.
Same set up as the last drill but the bouncer players are now joining in on the pitch to make the game a 4v4 + a magic man.
Normal rules to a game but if players work the ball through 4/5 of the areas they will earn an extra goal if they score.
