Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Burnley FC Possession Game with Striker.

Burnley fc game (15 mins)

Method:

This is a great possession exercise that emphasises quick passing, movement and communication between players.

In this example : 16 players, 2 groups of 8.

Plus 1 CF.

Area 30 X 30 yards.

Coaching Points:

Divide group into two teams of eight.

Place four players on each team in the area and place four players from each team on the outside.

Start off free play (Unlimited touches).

Play four v four inside the area.

The team in possession can use teammates on the outside to keep possession.

This makes an eight v four situation for the team with the ball.

Every time a player from the inside can pass to CF it counts as a goal.

Defenders CANNOT enter strikers box and outside players on line CANNOT enter area.

Progress to 2touch and 1touch.

Rotate outside players with inside players.
