Technical (Unopposed) - Passing in 2s (15 mins)

This activity is designed to have players learn basic passing technique with the inside of the foot while introducing several techniques for receiving by providing lots of repetition.

Set up

Players get into partners with one ball and go to one set of two cones set 8 yards apart. Players will stay behind their cones and will pass around the outside of the cones. Groups will alternate sides to work both feet.

Option 1

In partners at a close distance (in front of cone - approx 5 yards), player A passes the ball straight from right foot to their left. Player B then passes the ball on an angle from left foot to player A's left foot. Then player A passes straight again from left foot to partners right foot and so on.

Option 2

Behind cone, A controls with left foot and brings the ball across their body to their right foot. Then A passes to B who does the same sequence. After some time, coach will say switch and the ball goes in the opposite direction.

Option 3

Player A passes to the middle for player B to control with outside of foot to the same side as the foot they use. Then player B does the same sending the ball back to player A centrally to use the outside of the foot to move the ball with their first touch.

Progressions:

a ball each doing Option 2

a ball each doing Option 1 with only the straight pass option

1 ball passing 1 touch back and forth, other ball in a players hands to either toss back and forth or to increase difficulty, toss for a header while continuing 1 touch passes.

SSG - 3 Line Game (15 mins)

Set up

Grid is 15x15 boxes on the sides, 5/10 x 15 in the middle (size dependant on age and skill of players and how many players in the boxes).
Team divided into 3 teams. 2 on the sides and one in the middle.

Organization

Coach plays ball to one of the teams on the sides.
Team in the middle sends defenders into the side grid (1 at first, build to 2 if ability allows).
Offensive team makes a set number of passes (3-5) and then the goal is to send the ball to the opposite side.
The pass to the opposite side can be through on the ground (remaining defensive players are permitted to intercept this pass) or over the middle group.
If they succeed then they score 1 point and stay where they are, defensive team then goes to challenge the ball on opposite side. If the defensive team wins the ball, they take the place of the attacking team and play continues as it started.

Details

Shape of the attacking team (fill the box and be at good supporting positions)
Communication on offense
Proper body shape to receive the pass
If 2 defenders closing, look to split
Don't have to pass to opposite side after requisite number of passes, ensure the right opportunity

(Technical Unopposed) - Passing With a partner Progression (15 mins)

Passing with a partner with cones now to make some additional movements.

1. Player A passes to player B who passes back

2. Player B moves to their right, receives the ball from A outside the cone, dribbles across the cone back inside and plays the ball back to player A.

3. A plays a one touch back to B who returns the ball and goes outside the cone to their left to redo the sequence on that side.

4. After both sides are done, the ball is again played 1 touch to player B who sets to A.

5. Then B backs up to the last cone behind them, receives the pass, dribbles to the other side of the cone to come back and do the sequence again.

After this is done a couple of times, change roles.

SSG - Break Out Rondo (15 mins)

Set-Up:

4 mini goals
4 flats or cones
5 pinnies

Diagram Description:

Possession based small sided game with focus on counter-pressing; aim is to win possession back as quickly as possible, before the opposition can settle on the ball.

1. The drill starts in area (1) shown in the picture.

Red x 4 (in possession, trying to keep the ball. Score a point for every 5 passes.)
Black x 2 (trying to win the ball as quickly as possible in the small space)

2. Once the Black team win the ball, it then turns into a 6 v 4 rondo in area (2), with the black team in possession and the red trying to win the ball.

Team instruction:

Red x 4 (trying to win the ball back and score in the mini goals for a point)

Black x 6 (in possession, trying to keep the ball. Score a point for every 5 passes. Use progressions depending on skill level of group.

Considerations:
- "1 if you can, 2 if you must" try to move the ball quickly - know where you are going to pass before you receive the ball
- If the Red score in the mini goals, the game is reset to area (1)
- If the Black win the ball back before the Red can score in the mini goals, the 6v4 rondo continues

** Adjust the game for the skill level of the group ie. Div 2 plays 3 v 1 in the middle with 6 players on the outside so players have more success, or Premier A may be able to do 5 v 3 in the middle with 4 outside.

Progressions:
1. Unlimited touches

2. Max 3 touches
3. 2 touch
4. 1 touch
5. Change the amount of passes it takes to earn a point.

6. Add in a "consequence" for teams based on a number of passes or a goal being scored ie. burpies, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.

Final Game - 5v5 or 6v6 (30 mins)

Encourage players to play quickly in possession and hunt for the ball as a unit when they lose it. 15 minutes with interventions and 15 mins to just play.

*Keep it Competitive! Play mini games, losing team has to; run, do burpees, sit-ups, push-ups, etc. Winning team does half the exercise. Change the teams up if things are one sided.
