Description

This is a session I would use early in the season as it works on a large variety of skills and helps players to understand all the basic aspects of the game ie. passing, attacking and defending, transitional play and good use of space and pressing.

Method: Drill 1: Still part of the warmup, passing drill where players pass and follow the ball in a diamond shape, turning this into a rondo with a player on each side and two in the middle. 

Drill 2: Small possession game with 4v2. Red team keeping possession for certain number of passes to score a goal. When blues win possession, they can score in either goal while reds try win ball back as quickly as possible.
