Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Passing and recieving to play forward (YDP session)

Screen 1

Set up: 8 players split across three 20x10yrd box + a 20x8yrd scoring zone that angles towards the goal. First two boxes begin with 2v1's and the end box is a single attacking player unopposed + a GK in the goal of the scoring zone.

Rules to begin: Attacking players must transfer the ball from the first box to the second box and eventually into the final box before the scoring zone. In each box, both attackers must touch the ball before it goes through. Once the ball enters the final box, the ST is working on three touches. First tow are intended to get the ball out of the final box into the scoring zone and a final touch to score. Attacking team receive 10pts for getting it to the ST and an extra 5pts if it ends in a goal. Defensive team can score points also, if the defender in the first box wins it and scores in the small goals, they receive 15pts. If the middle defender wins it and scores against the GK after a 1v1 with the ST, they receive 10pts. (Focus here is more on the passing aspect so the small goals are worth more to defenders) If defender wins it in his box, he swaps with one of the attackers, if one of the defenders scores in the goals, both defenders swap with an attacker. Attckers rotate every 3/4 mins to either a new box or defender. GK gets 10pts for every save. Coach or waiting player can begin practice.

Progression 1: The middle defender can chase down the ST once the ball is played, if they stop them from scoring they receive 10pts, 15pts if they win the ball back and score, 40pts if they recover the ball, play the end defender and score in the small goals. A goal is now worth an extra 10pts (20pts in total) to the attackers.

Regression: Both attackers DON'T have to touch it, it can go straight through to the next box.

Equipment: 2x small goals, 1x large goal, 6 big cones, 5x small cones, 9x flat markers and 4/6 footballs.
