Passing through the gates - Unopposed (10/15 mins)

With a partner, players stand facing each other either side of the gate with one ball between two.

Players pass the ball back and forth using basic passing technique. Two touch passing - first touch to stop & control ball, second touch to pass.

Progressions:

1 - Control ball with inside of one foot, pass with inside of other foot.

2 - Control ball with outside of foot, pass with inside of same foot.

3 - After 5 successful passes, player with ball dribbles to new gate, partner follows. Repeat at as many gates as possible until coach shouts stop. How many gates in 2 mins?

Key Coaching Points -

- Correct passing technique (inside foot, non kicking foot beside ball, kicking middle of ball with locked ankle)

- Two touches (control, pass) first touch out from feet in direction you want to go.

- Correct weight of pass

Passing through gates - Opposed (10/15 mins)

Same as progression 3 of previous drill but including defenders. Defenders move around, blocking gates, forcing players to move to an 'open' gate. This encourages players to get their heads up, communicate with their partner and accelerate to open space. Players only have to make 1 successful pass through a gate before finding a new gate.

Progression -

1 - Set targets e.g. first team to pass through 5 different gates.

2 - Take away gates/ add gates to make it harder/easier.

Key Coaching Points -

- Correct passing technique (inside foot, non kicking foot beside ball, kicking middle of ball with locked ankle)

- Two touches (control, pass)

- Correct weight of pass

- Communication with partner

Conditioned Game - Battleships (10/15 mins)

4 Tall cones at each end of field for 'battleship'. Players split into 2 even teams & each given a number. Coach calls a number & the player from each team with that number runs around their teams 'battleship' and towards ball. Players challenge each other for the ball (1v1) and score by passing ball to knock over other teams 'battelship'. First team to sink other teams 'battleship' (knock all cones over) wins.

Progressions -

- Increase amount of numbers called to create 2v2/ 3v3, building up to full scrimmage.

Key Coaching Points -

- Controling ball, not just kicking it.

- Using inside of foot to pass towards battleship.

- Head up before taking shot.
