4(2 technical,1 Skill and a Small sided game 

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

Task A technical:  a player passes the ball to the person on the next cone to there left then they must follow there pass and overlap go to 2nd cone with player on

After 2 minutes they then change direction and do it to the right for 2 minutes 

They will then swap with lads on task B as they will swap them 

Task B Technical :this task they will cross the ball from one side of the pitch to the other then they will run to the back the line on the opposite side of the pitch and continue to do so then after 2 minutes then will attempt to do the drill with there weaker foot for 2 minutes moving closer if they have to the person on the opposite side of the pitch if they can't kick that far

Task C Skill :they will take what they have learnt in the other two drills and combine what they did. it will be 2 teams with a points system (1 point a goal)

player 1 will pass the ball to player 2 they will then pass the ball back to player 1 and then overlap player 1 who will pass the ball back to player 2 who will then cross the ball towards player 3 or 4 without the opposition players intercepting the ball away every 5 minutes two players will swap positions until everyone has played as a defender,attacker involved in the cross

The winning team will then start the small sized game a goal up 

D small sided game overlap and cross bonus

It's normal small sized game with two zones either side of the coned area 

Players may not enter that area unless they are creating an overlap if you score straight from the overlap with a cross you will receive 2 goals

It is based on ability of children of U12s
