Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): finishing exercises

No pressure (10 mins)

Set up: 3 different places of entree ball, these can be adjusted. I numbered what ball goes first, second and third. Manniquins, cones or poles can be used for the "defenders."

-Target starts free no defender. Ball 1 will start, play the ball to the target. Target will turn, possibly dribble and shoot.

-After the first shot, Target will now check to a second ball (2.) This ball can be be opposite side, up to coach. Target will make a combo/ wall pass with player #2. This will lead into  a service from #2 into the box. Player #1 can join the attack.

- Player #3 now plays the last ball. You can ask the forward, or person who didn't shoot ball #2 to check for ball. A combo will be done around wide manniquin/ defender. Player #3 will end up with a ball wide, he should serve a ball into the box. Again, we should have Target and Player #1 in the box.

There is a video for this live

added pressure (10 mins)

We've now added more pressure, two center back. Play stars in same pattern #1, #2 and #3.

-Ball #1, play starts with ball being played to target. Once he receives the ball, we  are live (2v2.)

-Ball #2, same as above play starts when target receives the ball.

-Ball #3, same as above.

Note:

I changed this later, Play started as soon as Player #1 , #2 or #3, touched the ball. I asked #1, #2, #3, to start on the dribble not a pass. This encouraged the center back to step higher, left space behind and our target 1v1, which is better for the attack.
