15 mins
Organization:
Use same box set up as Technical Warm Up.
Activity:
Box Passing to 4 v 1 Game
Variations:
1. 2 touch passing to the right only using the inside of the right foot.
2. Add a second soccer ball to increase speed of play.
3. Competition to see which group can move the ball around the box 5 times using only the inside of the right foot and taking exactly 2 touches. (5 second penalty for 1 touch or using any other surface besides inside of right foot)
4. Repeat 1-3 using Left foot and moving the ball in the opposite direction.
5. Add Defender. Have Defender hold bib because there will be many mistakes at the start especially with youngers. Must use only inside of the foot to pass. Must only use Right foot when playing Right, Left when playing left and either when playing across. If you make a mistake you are in the middle.
Coaching Points:
1. Open body/hips to receive the ball across your body, so that your touch allows to to play the ball quickly using 2 touches.
2. After adding Defender - Play the ball quickly to the open player before the defender is able to close down the player on the ball.

20 mins
Organization:
10x15-20 yard area
Activity:
Penetrating Pass Activity
1. A and B are 1v1 inside the area. A is trying to play to C. C can move side to side along the line to improve passing angle. End line players must side shuffle along end line.
2. If A is able to pass the ball to C, and C is able to control the ball without the ball going beyond the end line, then B is knocked off the field and becomes C, A receives 1 point.
3. After C receives ball successfully they are immediately trying to find a penetrating pass to D, which would knock A off the field and D would then be 1v1 with C.
4. After 2-3 minutes get point totals. 1st place moves up to next area, 2nd & 3rd stay, 4th goes down an area. Repeat a few times and recognize champion.
Coaching Points:
1. You don't have to dribble past the player to play the end line player. Just need a passing lane created by movemont of end line player or deceptive dribbling, fake passing, etc.
