Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Jan 18th Passing, Recieving & Moving

Passing Circle (10 mins)

Have players in a circle, sizes depends on numbers. Start with one ball and going anit-clockwise. Outside player starts with the ball and plays to the inside player. After passing to the inside player the outside player over laps the inside player to take thier spot. After the inside player passes to the next outside player they take the spot on the outside. To develop the pattern be patient and allow 2 touches but once the players understand it becomes one touch and correct foot choice, the back foot. In this case outside player is right foot and inside player is left foot. Repeat going the opposite way to change the back foot.

Add additional balls to see how many the team can keep going.

Team must be focused, correct foot choice becomes automatic, over lap should become automatic

Four Corners Progression (10 mins)

Outside player passes to inside player who passes the to anit-clockise corner. All players follow their passes. All players take two touches, eye contact between 1st and 2nd touch, call and gesture for the ball, inside player receives the ball with their back foot on the half turn.

Change directions half way through.
