Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Pre Season 23rd July 2019 (Start Time: 2019-07-23 18:30:00)

Control (10 mins)

5-10 minute exercise

Players to feed the ball to their partner and work on a number of different areas of the body:

- Header

- Chest and return

- Volley

- Pass on floor

- Touch the ball, turn and return

Players will return the ball to the server and jog backwards around their pole x5, swap feet, then swap with their partners

10 movement (10 mins)

- Once players have made 5-7 passes, the team will shout recieve.

- This will be a trigger for a number 10 to come short outside of the box and recieve the ball, playing a 1-2 with the player that is transferring the ball into the box.

- Maintain high tempo

- Work on ball control, accurate passing, verbal communication.

- If too easy, add 1 defender into each box to create 3/4 v1

Progression: As oppose to a 10 coming to play a 1-2 with player transferring, a winger will sit wide of the box and return the ball so that transferring player can begin possession with the team.
