Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Passing Rotations to Goal (1v1, 2v1)

Technical Warm Up (20 mins)

Rotation 1:

1 plays to 2, who opens up and plays to 3. With a forward touch out of the feet finished in the small goal. Follow your pass, 3 joins the first cone next to the goal. Have 4 players so 4th play can play immediately to build intensity.

Coaching Points:

Touch out of your feet 

Inside of the foot pass 

Open body shape

Head up 

Check off the cone 

Work both sides for left and right foot 

Variations: 

Check away to come short (Player 2/3)

One two between player 3 & 2 round the top cone before a finish. 

Player 2 bounces back to player 1 who plays long to 3 for a finish or one-two with 2.

Player 2 comes short, miss him out and player 1 goes straight to player 3, who plays a one-two with player 2 who has spun and supported, then finish. 

Animation 3 (10 mins)
