Texans Passing Drill (10 mins)

Texans passing drill

•In a group of 4 with 1 ball get in single file with 2 people on the ends and 2 in the middle with the ball on one of the ends. 2 yards should be between each player in the row.

•The ball passes to the closest person in the middle, then back to where it came, then sent to the next person in the middle, back to the other player in the middle and finally across to the other side of the grid.

•It is important that the player who received first in the middle make an accurate pass back to where it came and then move to the side about 1 yard to allow space for the pass to go past him/her to the other player in the middle. Then the player comes back to the middle to receive the pass and send it to the other side.

Texans on a larger scale

•Exact same format as above but now 5 yards between each player in the row. Increase the distance if success is attained.

•More focus now on talking when passing, using one touch if possible and moving after a pass is made. The 2nd player in the middle (furthest from the ball) needs to keep deep in order to allow for their pass back to the other player in the middle to be a pass back (set pass) and not sideways.

•Increased levels of difficulty can be a pass in the air to start it (if not able to pass it in the air, the ball can be thrown to force the receiver to work a pass that is air born). You can also add in all sorts of combination plays from this set up.

One on one in a circle (15 mins)

One on one in a circle

•The group is spread out into a big circle (likely use 2 circles with bigger groups) with 4 or 5 balls around the circle with the players.

•2 players are in the middle, 1 is given the attacker role and the other is the defender.

•They work for 1 minute against each other and then 2 new players go in.

•The attacker is to go to a ball, ask for it and try to turn the defender. They are not permitted to pass the ball to a player next to the player whom they received the ball from. Each time they can pass to any other player they receive a point, each time the defender wins the ball they receive a point.

•Once everyone has had a turn the players go in again for a second time as the other role of the game.

Coaching points

Proper check offs to create space, shoulder checks when receiving the ball, using your body to protect the ball and feel if you can turn or roll the defender, positive first touch, communication to get the ball and when passing to a teamate. also feel free to work the defensive side of this drill with talking about the angle you approach the attacker, how close you should be, use your body when appropriate etc.

King Louis (20 mins)

King Louis

2 teams in 2 18 yard box's attached. Play 5 vs 2 with the 5 having 2 touches max and the 2 having unlimitted. The 5 cannot cross into the other grid, nor can the 2. No goalie but players can go in the net and stop the shots without their hands.

Goal is to create scoring chances from the 18 with combination plays either with each other or going to their strikers to get set passes. They can of course look to play their strikers in for opportunities as well.

Coaching Points

spacing depth and width in the 18 to keep possession and set up lanes to shoot

speed of play

communication for set passes
