Screen 1

Warm-up: setup two triangles like in the screen above. Players will pass and follow the pass in their triangle. Player must pass the ball on the floor and with pace. Player waiting for the ball will move a little, will create an angle and receive the ball with the back foot. Players will pass and follow the pass.

When coach say switch, they switch the directions the ball should go.

Coaching points:- move the ball on the floor and with pace

- be ready to receive the ball and to progress

Variation: player will pass, receive a pass back and play the third pass in the space (red cones)

Now, both triangles are playing together. Coach can start with only one ball or, if the team is good, can start with two balls going the same direction and at the same time. 

Players must be ready to receive the ball and play all the time. The body angles, and how they will receive the ball will be key in this game.

Coaching points:

- be ready to play

- move the ball on the floor and with pace

- be ready to receive the ball and to progress

Time:12-15 min

Screen 3

Small sided fields with 2v2+3. Game has no nets, and teams will score points taking the ball from one wide player to the opposite. They get an extra point if they are also able to use the middle neutral. Players need to receive the ball and take the ball away from pressure (team mate will have to create passing angles to support) and then switch the play. Play games of 3 min, then switch opponents. 

Coaching points:

- Can we take the ball away from pressure

- Play with your heads up to find the space

- If you dont have the ball, can you move to be an option and make a passing line

Time:15 min

Progression: we use the same field, but now we have targets (small goals). They play 3v3 and to score a goal, need to use at least one of the outside players. If they are able to use both and score, they get double points (+2). 

Make sure to rotate players, all of them should play a little on the field and a little as wide players. 

Time:12-15 min

In the side lanes, we will have 1v1. Its only allowed to have more player inside the lane the team in possession (numerical advantage). Switch fields after time.
