Unopposed (20 mins)

Organization:

2 x (15x25 yard grids)

2 groups, players in pairs

1 ball per group but spares close by if ball leaves grid unintentionally

Big (tall) cone in center of each grid to represent defender

Instructions:

When playing from red cones:

A passes to B to start rotation/combination.

B then dribbles at big (tall) cone representing defender and plays a pass with the outside of the foot back to A who has made a supporting run up along side player B.

A then passes back to B who has made a run behind the big (tall) cone to complete the 'give & go' combination.

B then passes to a player on the blue cones waiting to excute an over-lap combination going the opposite way.

When playing from blue comes:

A makes a central run and receives a pass from B who then makes a supporting overlapping run around A.

A dribbles at big (tall) cone representing defender and plays a pass with the outside of the foot back to B.

B then passes to a player on the red cones waiting to excute a give & go combination going the opposite way.

Coaching Points:

Dribble at/attack tall cone (defender) and release ball with outside of foot as late as possible.

Semi/Full opposed (30 mins)

Organization:

2 x (15x25 yard grid)

Players work in pairs

As many balls as possible at start of rotation (red cones)

Instructions:

Box 1. Over-lap combination is played between the attacking pair as in the warm up.

Defender A is waiting in middle of blue cones (top of area 1) and when the first pass is played A presses the ball acting as a defender but doesnt attempt to steal it (adds partial pressure).

Once ball enters area 2, B (who is waiting at top of area 2 between orange cones) does the same and a give & go combination is excuted by the attacking pair.

Once the attacking pair cross the end line of area 2 they set up as the next pair of defenders and the pair of defenders join the back of the attacking pair line at start of area 1.

Coaching Points:

Commint defender to ball

Release with outside of foot to disguise pass/intentions

Pass ahead of supporting player to keep speed of play high

Communication between attacking pair

Where should I dribble to create space?

Quality/weight of pass

Progressions:

Add goals at either end and play full pressure, if defenders win ball teams play regular 2v2 game until ball goes out of play.

Keep score between teams/pairs.
