Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Joe Spade Session on Possession (scan, plan, play)

Dick Bate Passing Square

Passing Square Game: All players start on yellow cones. Player A has only ball to
start. 2 touch game. Every first touch by passer is signal for receiver to break off of
yellow cone on arcing run to receive with open hips and good first touch to next
target. Then pass on second touch. (example: player a takes touch to start, player b
sprints out to receive pass from A. As player B, takes touch towards C, C breaks off
of cone to open hips to B and D. Play continues) If using 5, have a player waiting
inside cone triangle. 2 squares compete. Alternate Game: Skip the Dribbling
square and do multiple passing squares (5 per square).
Progression 1: Add 1 or 2 players to middle of grid, players must receive pass in
space in front of cone triangle, lay off to a middle player, who performs a wall pass
around the triangle cones for outside player to then continue pattern. If 2 inside
players, have them work to receive different balls.
Progression 2: Coach stands behind both all grids, and continues to switch
different colors of cones in hand. Players must say color in hand as ball is rolling
