Passing Practice (15 mins)
Explanation:
- All players inside the grid as shown
- Players are to pair up with each other whilst passing and moving inside the grid
- As soon as the coach calls 'press' the players will make a pass to their partner and immediately pressure them passively
Progression:
- Players will pass & move with five footballs inside the grid
- Coach will call 'press' randomly and players are to press the nearest person with the ball passively
Perception:
- Listenting to calls from players
- Waiting to hear the coaches trigger word
Decision:
- When to press
- Who to press
Execution:
- Speed of the press
