Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Possession (playing out of pressure/winning ball back)

Possession (play out of pressure/winning ball back) (20 mins)

Organization:

One big box (40x40ish) and one smaller box (15x15ish) inside the big box. 3v2 in the small box (4 red players) and 2 blue players outside the small box.

Instructions:

Red team is keeping possession in the small box for as long as possible. When the blue team wins the ball, their goal is to play the other blue players outside the small box. The game is now played in the big box where the blue team is keeping possession as long as possible. When ball goes out of bounce or the red team wins the ball back, the game starts over in the small box.

Coaching Points:

- movement off the ball to find areas to receive the ball

- winning the ball back as soon as possible when lost (red team)

- play out of pressure when ball is won (blue team)
