Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 1&2 touch possession

4v4+1 - Positional passing lanes (10 mins)

Organization:15x20 outline with 2 players from each team stationed on the inside of the corners of the field, 2 players from each team on the inside of the pitch, and 1 neutral player.

Instructions:Players on the sides of the pitch must localize their play to the corners, and hold their positions, players on the inside must create good movement to stay open for a pass. 1 passing string (4 passes) equates a goal. teams play for 2 minutes, then outside positions rotate into the middle positions, and middle positions rotate to outside positions. 4 rotations total...phase 1 (rotations 1&2) play 2 touch and phase 2 (rotations 3&4) play 1 touch. Encourage higher tempo, and better rythem all restarts begin with a quick free kick which must be taken within 5 seconds after the dead ball.

Coaching Points: phase 1 - forced movement from the inside players to create passing lanes as follows: Left, Right, Split, and switch of play. Phase 2 - passing accuracy, and developing vision of play up to 2 passes early to ensure players know where to play before starting the attempted passing string (4 passes). BONUS/EXTRA LAYER-Players can also attempt a combination between the inside pair of players.
