Technique Practice: Unopposed Pattern

Theme: Passing + Receiving

Topic: Receiving and passing forward.

Description: Passing and receiving. Unopposed practice - diamond pattern. The player that starts with the ball at the bottom will drive through the gates before passing the top player and move to his/her position, the top player will pass the left player and will move to that place, the left player will play with the middle player and the middle player will play with the second bottom player. Repeat.

Differentiation:

Progression:

S = Distances between cones bigger (2 steps away).
T = In 1 min. how many times can we complete the passing pattern with 2 touches max.?
E = 2-3 balls added.
P = Defender added who can intercept any of the 2-3 balls in play to earn a point.

Degression:

S = Distances between cones smaller (1 step closer).
T = Free touches allowed.
E = Cones giving a reference to the players of whereabout dropping off the cone that represents a defender.
P = Semi-opposed defending, 1 defender only puts semi-pressure on the receiver in the middle cone.

Space: Square 20x20 grid

Time: 15 min.

Equipment: 6 cones & plenty of balls.

Players: 5 players

Possession Practice: (4v4)+4 (15 mins)

Theme: Passing + Receiving

Topic: Receiving and passing forward.

Description: Possession game (4v4)+4. One team will try to pass to one of the target players (in green) and then pass to the other opposite outside player (in green) without the other team winning the ball back to bank a point. The other team will do the same but across (pink players). After 4 min one of the teams will swap with the outside team.

Differentiation:

Progression:

S = Make the area tighter
T = 10 seconds max. to play with a bouncing player outside, otherwise the possession is lost.
E = 2 goals and GKs can be added / no bouncing players outside and after certain amount of passes, the team in possession breaks out the box and shoots to goal.
P = Magic Player in possession.

Degression:

S = Increase the area.
T = Any bouncing player receiving is a point.
E = 4 mini goals added / no outside players / after certain amount of successful passes for the team in possession, they can score in any mini-goal.
P = 2 bouncing players per side.

Space: Square 20x20 grid

Time: 15 min.

Equipment: plenty of balls, 4 blue bibs, 2 green bibs, 2 pink bibs, 4 cones.

Players: 12 players

Coaching Points:

- Body position open in order to see as many players as possible.

- Recognising good spaces in order to play with the outside player with the least touches or passes possible.

- Scanning to find good spaces and danger.

- Recognising the positioning of the target players and teammates to have an idea who to pass after receiving.
