Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 12/1/2024 U17 MJL Girls Session 3, W1, C1

Screen 2 (20 mins)

Set Up: 10 x 10 grids back to with 2 x players in one corner and 2 players inside the grids. The players inside the grid stay in the grid. Any rotation is with players in their closest corner. 2 grids work with one ball

Organisation: The ball is played from a corner player into a player in the grid and this player combines with the other player in the initial grid before the ball is played to the opposite corner. The same occurs with the return pass. The player who plays the last pass rotates out of the grid, swapping with a corner player.

Coaching Points: Crisp passing and high ball speed. Verbal and non-verbal communications to show for the ball. Body shape to receive the ball to play the next pass. Movement of second player and body shape to combine and play quickly. 

Progressions: As shown here:

1. Simple layoff (or set) and pass

2. Bounce pass between central players and pass

3. Ball played around the corner (a forward pass) into the next grid with support under and pass.

4. Same as 3 with a bounce on the end
