Warmup: Dribbling & Passing (10 mins)

6 rows of cones

6 players in each line.

5 at starting cone and 1 at last cone. Starting player and player at last cone has a ball.

Player 1 dribbles through cones and then runs with the ball to the cone about 10 yards away. Player 1 turns and makes a pass down the line back to starting line. Player 1 turns to receive pass from player 3, and then passes back to player 3, with one touch or two touch (based on skill of individual player). Player 3 receives pass, stops the ball at the cone, and then runs down the line to the starting cone (without the ball), where player 1 started circuit.

Setup:

Cones

Balls at cone 2

Activity:

Play begins with player at cone 2, passing to the central midfielder. The pass is then made to the winger who runs with the ball down the wing and then crosses it in to the box.

After some success, give players the creative license to make decisions on runs and where to support and pass to get the cross into the box.

The play who started the sequence then takes up the spot of the central midfielder.

Each restart will alternate the wing of play.

Rotate the players into different positions are a few attempts in that position.
