Passing (Possession/Directional drill) (25 mins)


Organisation

Area - 25x30

4 cones on each corner

Footballs allocated on the outside of the area with the coach

2 teams of 6

4 inside the area, 2 on the outside

30mins in total (including breaks)

3 x 3minute blocks (technical practice)

3 x 3minute blocks (skill practice 1)

2 x 5minut3 block (skill practice 2)


Aims

Technical Practice

The aim is to receive the ball from an outside player, pass it through the middle of the area and play it out towards the opposite outside player.

The reds will be playing one direction, whilst the blues play the in the opposite direction.

Players must remain in their 1/4, focus is placed on the technique and type of pass (depending on the distances between players)

Both teams will play at the same time, unopposed.


Skill Practice 1

Same aim and targets as the technical practice. Flat discs are removed and the area is opened up into one big zone. 1 ball, reds vs blues team. Aim is to play the ball through the middle area, and transfer across to your own team mates.


Skill Practice 2

Same aim and targets as skill practice 1, however, end players are neutral players and will play for the team in possession. To help with this, their bibs are removed and they support the team in possession.


Coaching Points

Consider the angle in which you receive the ball, are you receiving the ball on your back foot so that you can play forward and advance.

Concentrate on technique and type of pass (vary depending on distances).

Identify stance when receiving the ball, is it flat or is your body opened up to see where your players are, where opposite players are to support your decision making on the ball.


Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

Progression:

Limit the amount of touches in the middle area

Reduce the area size to increase intensity and decision making on the ball

Regression:

Increase are size, to allow players more time on the ball

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

How fast can you get the ball from one target player to the next (1/2 passes)

Limit touches to the outside players to encourage ball rolling time in the middle zone.

If successful, gain a point for each time you switch the ball without the opposition team intercepting it

Reflection:

The initial dividing of the area was helpful as it allowed time for players to concentrate on their technique and type of pass.

The zones however limited player movement and became not realistic as players had a big area of not being opposed. Block time for the technical aspect of it may have overran for too longs as players became bored quickly due to the unrealistic nature

Player numbers allowed for an evenly split two squads, however if not, a neutral player would have been considered especially within the skill practice.

Outside players again, became disinterested at certain points which caused play intensity to reduce as they took 5/6seconds to make a decision. By applying limited touches to the outside players increased play intensity and allowed to ball rolling time to be positive for those players within the area.
