Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Build-up Goalkicks

Animation 1

We're going to work on building out from the back on goal kicks. Players need to create diamonds all over the pitch to provide multiple passing options and maintain structure. The goalkeeper should look to play short and simple to one of the two defenders positioned inside the box.

From there, we want to emphasize quick, one-touch passing, with players consistently receiving the ball in a half-turned position to stay open to the field. The focus will be on rehearsing patterns of play, timing of movement, and delivering quick, quality passes under pressure.

The ultimate objective is to break lines and play our forwards in behind the opposition through intelligent movement and sharp execution.

Players can work on different patterns. We can work in defenders to make it more difficult.
