Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Middle through ball
Save Image: Football/Soccer Session Plan Drill (Colour): Middle through ball Create Video:

Middle through ball (10 mins)

Organization: 4 red cones in a line evenly spaced 6-8 yards apart to simulate a defensive line, 4 blue cones to signal the beginning & end of the pattern, and even lines at each of the 4 blue cones.

Instructions: Players are instructed to complete a give and go with the player running towards them, and then complete a through ball to the other side through the passing lane created by the red cones. Passers must use the opposite passing lane from the one the runner used to check in.

Coaching Points: 1- first touch relitive to the passing lane (how can we make the passing lane bigger?). 2 - Heal down/toe up inside the foot passing technique (you can only measure weight of pass after consistancy of technique is achieved)

Instructions: Same as last pattern, only now we are using a through ball to a second player in the pattern.

Coaching Points: 1- first touch relitive to the passing lane (how can we make the passing lane bigger?). 2 - Heal down/toe up inside the foot passing technique (you can only measure weight of pass after consistancy of technique is achieved), 3 - Weight of pass (miss long and give it out of bounds, dont miss short and give it to a defender).

Play (20 mins)

Organization: Playing 7 v 6 (or 8 v 6 if at all possible) on a half of field

Instructions: Blue must keep possession until they find an opening to penetrate the defense. Blue will try and score on the big goal on one end, and gray will try to score in one of the 3 pugs at the opposite end of the field.

Coaching Points: Switch the play as needed until an opening in the defense appears, Identify openings before receiving the ball & exploit identified opening with first touch, supporting runs after penetration to ensure multiple finishing opportunities are created with the penetrating pass.
