Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Through ball passing

Animation 1

Description: Working on through balls. Red dribbles to the mannequin and does a move, does a give and go with black around the cone, on the second pass from red to black, blue makes a run to the outside of the poles. Black plays a one time pass through the poles that blue runs onto. Blue dribbles to the starting cone and we go again.

# of players: 3+. (Coach can be one)

Coaching points: TIMING IS EVERYTHING HERE. Blue cant make their run too early. Black HAS to have a clean pass. Pass the ball into space, not to their feet. The receiver should be receiving the ball IN STRIDE! Not waiting for it. Make sure players do a move at the mannequin.

Progressions: The passing patterns are endless with this one. Get creative with it. For instance, red could play black and when black plays it back to red they flick it into space to a running blue player etc. Also should work on both sides.
