Win the First Ball (10 mins)

Improve Reaction to Win Ball - This could be performed in several ways, but the basic idea is...

Two teams compete to win first ball and score a point (shot on goal, dribble across a line, pass to a teammate, etc.).

Players come to middle cones (approx. 2 yards a part), and coach/player drops ball between them. Play is live as soon as the ball is dropped.

Progressions...

Players must attack assigned goal (note they are off center to force a 1v1).

Players work in multiple groups of 3, scattered around pitch, and rotate through turns as competitors or drop-ball feeders (this will reduce lines and boredom).

Add a CB who must remain inside the box, but can use body positioning to block the shots.
