7V7 Channels (35 mins)
Organisation: 8v8 / Training Game (Area 50x45yds) 25min
Key Points :
Set up in position specific spaces on the field. Each team has 2 CB, 2 LB 6/8/10 and CF.
There is also one neutral player on the field playing for the team in possession. The neutral player helps the ball move swiftly. The objective is to move the ball from your backs through the midfield and to your forward. Once the forward receives the ball, the team will attempt to move the ball back to the defenders without losing possession. Once possession is lost, players must work hard to get the ball back. Both teams are set up the exact same way trying to accomplish the same tasks.
Outside players are located in safe zones so inside players can’t come out of the field and take the ball from outside players. The teams on the inside can only play to their own players on the outside.
High intensity game related passing/support/movements.

Sliding Rondo (15 mins)
Organisation : Players: 5v2 / 6v2 Grid size: 20 yards x 10 yards
Instructions: Players form circle to create passing pattern.
You can stand outside the grid a foot or so but the idea is to keep the circle shape and not make the circle larger. Create 2 grids side by side.
Key Points & Objectives:
Players look to complete 4-5 passes and then play their teammates into the open grid. The group at the point all has to run into the open grid following the pass. Players do not have to run keeping the shape of a circle. Once they get into the next grid they can regain the shape of the circle and look to complete 4-5 passes again before sending ball into the open grid. The players in possession can make more than four passes in the same grid but they can’t play in the open grid before four passes are completed. You can change the number of passes and players to adjust for skill level.
High Intensity , free flowing football related warm up drill.
