Learning Objectives
To develop passing and receiving with both feet during combination play.
Description
With 20 metres between players we play 2 periods of 6 minutes.
The players line up in a Y shape and play the passes as shown in the diagram. The player moves to the next position after playing the pass.
Coaching points
1- When receiving with 1 foot and passing with the other the first touch needs to be well judged and pushed out in front of the body.
2- Reduce the time between the first touch and the pass, and then progress to 1 touch when possible.
3- Passes in the combinations need to be weighted well and aimed in front of the teammate so they can run onto the ball.
4- The passing and dribbling should be done at high tempo.

Practice Organisation
- 2 small gols at one end, to serve as target & one normal goal.
- Divide into 2 teams of 6 players (Reds & Blues)
- Players in each team work in pairs.
- Blue serve ball to reds, who send out 2 players to receive & attack goal.
- Blues send out 1 player (A) to make 1v2.
- Reds objective is to get ball into Blues end zone and shoot at goal.
- If Blue defender wins ball, a 2nd Blue (B) takes takes a ball and attacks either of the 2 goals at opposite end to score.
- 2 Reds become recovering D`s attempt to stop this.
- Reverse roles of team after suitable period of practice.
Progressions
- If Blue defender (A) wins ball in middle area, 2nd Blue (B) can support to make 2v2 & attack small goal to score.
- Reds send out 3 A`s & Blues send out 2 D`s to create 3v2 with normal rules applying.
Coaching Points

Objective
Developing ball retention: Passing, Receiving and losing your marker.
Description
In a square area of 12 by 12 yards we play 2v2.
Each side has 2 side players who can move up and down their line, but are not allowed to enter the square. This creates a 4v2 numerical advantage.
The aim is to maintain possession utilising all 4 players in the team, all of whom are limited to 2 touches.
The aim of the game is to reach 10 passes within your team without the opposition intercepting the ball.
The players use the 4v2 numerical advantage while in possession.
Every 2 minutes the sides are changed, also rotating the side players.
Coaching Points
1- All players should open up their body to shape themselves in the direction of their first touch and pass to a teammate.
2- Angle of support - provide support with at least 2 viable passing options.
3- Speed up play: Reduce the time taken between the first touch and the pass.
