Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Passing / Keeping possession

Warm-up (5 mins)

Warm-up 5 Minutes.

In a small area, split the player into 2 smaller groups (ready for later in the session).

Create a small area approx 15x15 (depending on the number of players).

Within the area, players dribble around the area making short passes to player without a ball. Players can pass to any player within the area. Encourage the players to communicate with the player they are passing to or calling for the ball off.

The cones placed aound the outside of the player area are in preperation for the next drill within the session.

Variable (15 mins)

Variable - 15 Minutes.

2 Zones, 15x30 each zone. (30x30 total size).

1 team per zone. Players are numbered 1,2,3,4,5,6 for both teams.

Aims;

- Players can pass the ball to any player within the same zone as them.

- When the coaches shouts "Numbers" the players must ball the ball in numerical order.

- When the coach shouts out a number, the player number that was called switches zones. (NOT AS A DEFENDER).

Progressions

- When the coach shouts a number (1,2,3,4,5,6) they move into the other zone as a defender and must try to get the ballwithin 30 seconds. (After time is up they return to their teams zone).

- When the coach calls out "Number" (The word) players must pass the ball in numerical order, once they have completed this, the whole team must sit down to earn a point for their team.

(Loosing teams collects the cones).
