Everton Box (15 mins)

Everton Box

Box is 40 long by 20 wide (subject to change on need of group)

Players 1 and 2 both check away (deep check off) and check to the ball on the opposite side from where they start

Players 3 and 4 pass to players 1 and 2 and tell them to turn.

Ball is then passed out to players 5 and 6 who then run the ball to the end of the queue.

Players follow their pass so 3 takes 2 spot, 4 takes 1 spot, 1 goes to 5 and 2 goes to 6.

Sequence continues

Progression 1

the passer tells the player checking off man on instead of turn. Ball is set back and then played to the player in position 5 and 6. Movement is the same

Progression 2

After the player sets the ball back, they can then do an overlap to receive the return pass and then continue the sequence as before.

Progression 3

Add in a give and go at the top of the session so in any variation, when the ball is played up to player 5 and 6, follow that pass and play a give and go around their cone instead of having them simply dribble the ball to the next queue

Eliminating the opponent with a wall pass (15 mins)

Eliminating the opponent with a wall pass

Organization:

5 Players minimum with the area being as large or small based on the age/ability of the players involved.

Starting Point:

Player A, plays OUT to Player B, who plays BACK to Player A.

Player A then plays a THROUGH pass to C, accelerates past Player D, to receive a wall pass and plays a 1-2 pass back to Player C and takes his/her position.

Player C then repeats the passing sequence the opposite direction by passing OUT to Player D, who passes BACK to Player C, who then plays THROUGH to the next Player in the line.

Action:

Once the players have learned the sequence and over come the learning curve, the goal is to play as many passes on their first touch.

Player B and D won't move in the sequence so don't forget about them. Change them up once in a while. I found using my strikers and center mids there to work on their ability to play wall passes through the middle of the pitch was quite effective but obvioussly anyone can go there and should go there.

Coaching Points:

Proper foot to pass with (pretend the defender is the cone)

Wall pass players check away and to, check shoulder, fix shape, receive half turn and lay a nice set pass

Once the player starts the sequence, they should take a step to the side to suck the defender in the direction to the get around the corner for the return pass

The long pass needs to be with the right foot since we're passing that way and to the right of the cone for the receiving player to avoid the defender (the cone)

The receiving player fo the logn pass should check away and to etc. as always and use their left foot to play the ball in for the overlapping run

The pass back from the overlapper needs to be to the near foot to help protect the ball from the defender.

Lots of details in this quick moving drill. Great to get the kids moving and have their details challenged.

Grid dependant on space, ability of players and numbers (can do more plyers if team dictates that)

players play 5 vs 2 in the middle box, when the 2 wins the ball, play open to the big box and play is 9 vs 5.

Man City Box Passing Session (15 mins)

Man City Box Passing Session

a box 15 yards x 15 yards with a 5 x 5 box in the middle

As you can see player A passes to B who sets for player C who then bounces it out to player D and then the sequence continues around the box.

Same occurs on the opposite side with player 1 passing to 2 who sets to 3 and then bounces it to player 4.

After you pass you take the spot of the player you pass to. Player B and player 2 will always stay in the middle box so have them be your CM types who need to work on getting onto the ball to bounce it.

Details.

Once you get the pattern going think about

1) less touches (1 if you can, 2 if you must)

2) which foot to use (back foot)

3) where to pass it to have game shape ( In to the space for the player to step into it)
