PROGRESSION

 

  • Once players have passed and received to the end of the line of cones (or to the 23), player on the inside runs to the D.
  • Left side player carries the ball to the yellow cone and gets their feet round to make a pass into the D for their partner to shoot.

PROGRESSION

  • With your partner, work down the left hand side of the pitch, receiving and passing.
  • Carry the ball for a few paces before passing back to your partner.
COACHING POINTS
  • Where do you want the ball when you are receiving on the left hand side? (To your right foot, not ahead of you).
  • How is this different to passing to the right hand side? (Pass the ball ahead of your teammate).
  • What do you need to do with your body to make sure that you have good vision of the pitch from the left hand side? (Open your right shoulder, don't face the sideline).

Game with zones / channels

SET UP

  • End to end game with channels marked out in the centre of the pitch - middle, left, right - plus end zones for each 23.
  • Two players from each team in each zone. If you have more players, you can overload certain zones, or have roaming players who are allowed in multiple zones.
  • Players cannot leave their allocated zone.
  • The aim is to space out on the pitch and look for the best pass, discouraging players from panic passing straight ahead of them.
  • You can add more rules - Eg. You can't be tackled in the right or left channels, encouraging players to pass the ball wide, carry and look up for the best pass.
