Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Box square with progression

Box Square with drop

Players Involved/Excluded: All / Size: 10 x 10, 15 x 15
Can make two boxes is have at least 12 players. More movement,
less standing.
Timing: (6 -8min, 3-4 each way depending on level)
Rules/Explanation:
This is to work on teaching players to receive the ball with the furthest foot and hips faced.
Work two balls to keep movement.
Players pass and then follow their pass.
This is a progression with a drop pass.
First pass is long, player 1 runs half way to receive a drop pass from player 2.
Player 1 will make the pass up the line where player 2 receives and makes a long pass to player 3, again stopping half way to receive drop pass.
And so around the square. 2 balls going at once.
Player Tasks/Challenges: - What & Why
The object is to get the players comfortable, without thinking about it, to take their first touch with the inside of the furthest foot.
Firm ankle to direct their first touch where they want the ball to go.
Long pass then sprint to get into position to receive drop pass. Clean give and go. Continue to receive next long ball.
Body movement/placement to receive the ball on furthest foot while still facing the direction of next pass.
Progression 1 as shown (counter clockwise) will have first touch with right foot.
Progression 2 will go clockwise and will have first touch as left foot
Coach's Cues: - When & How
Watching for players taking the ball with the closest foot (you may see this when the ball continues on its path from the pass, ie. no resistance to stop the ball)
And we are watching for using the INSIDE of the foot, not the outside of the furthest foot.
