Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Nominate Pass Move

Screen 1

Nominate pass move

Set-up as title suggests, teams in small numbers (no more than 5) in area approx 15m x 15m. Initially unopposed, players simply nominate their pass first, then make the pass, then move into new space.

Coaching points

Early decisions - aspire for knowing pass even before receiving the ball and keep constantly evaluating a the arrangement changes

Aspire for higher ball speed - and so ball needs to be kept on the floor and touches minimal (no higher than 3)

General points - choice/weight of pass, body shape, constantly focussed and always expect the ball.

Progressions

Make into a game by reviewing each team one at a time awarding points for ball speed and amount of time before move breaks down (be strict - eg pass has to be nominated before being played....)

Introduce a tackler from opposing team and again time to see which team can maintain uninterupted possession the longest
