Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Wall passing

Animation 1

Description: Wall passing meant to be done on the grass field at providence. Red plays to blue on the wall side of the cone. Blue plays back and moves to the other side of the red cone. Red plays blue again, after blue passes back they open up to the yellow cone. Red plays blue at the yellow cone, yellow takes a touch and passes against the wall. Blue gets the ball from the wall and dribbles around the white cone. Blue plays red once its dribbled around the white cone and run back to the starting cone and goes again.

# of players: 1-2

Coaching points: Outside of blue being at yellow, ideally every pass is one touch. After passing against the wall, blue should go run towards the ball. I always pretend that blue has pressure behind them... pretend you're receiving the ball with pressure. Also can work on scanning shoulder when back pedaling to the yellow cone depending on the player skill and age.

Progressions: Server can move from blue cone to white cone. This can be more of a dribbling drill than it is if you want. At any point you could call out a cone color and the player would have to receive the ball and dribble around it for example.
