Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Wings play 1v1 with a cross

Screen 120 mins

Organization: 

• Split the team into six attackers, six defenders, a goalkeeper, and a server.
• The server will start around midfield with a supply of balls.
• Mark off a lane from each sideline that is 15 yards wide
• Place one defender in each of the two lanes, so the wingers play a 1v1 on each side.
• The remaining players (4v4) start between the two lanes.

• The one outside fullbacks and one winger are the only players that are allowed in the lane.
• The server plays the ball into one of the two outside wingers to begin the game.
• Instruct the outside fullback to let the winger turn and face him before applying pressure to the winger. If the winger is having problems beating the defender, have the defender play 50-75%.
• The winger will then play 1v1 against the outside back.
• The winger's job is to beat the fullback down the line.
• Only after the winger beats the defender can he pass into the 4v4 in the middle of the field. This service can come off of a pass, cross.
• Once receiving a pass from the winger, the offensive team attempts to score a goal.
• If the defensive team wins the ball, the play is reset and started over from the server at mid-field.
