Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 2v2+2 (Directional From Corners)

2v2+2 (Directional From Corners)

2v2+2 (Directional from Corners):

Obj: Improve player's ability to create angles of support in order to play forward

Timing: 2 min games

Set Up: Pitch set up as a 15x20 yard grid

Scoring/Rules: Each team has two active players in the middle of the grid with their remaining players on the corner opposite of each other. Blues are trying to work the ball back and forth between their players in the corners to get a point. You must complete a pass to the forward corner in order to score (can use the backwards option to keep possession but not to score a point). Once a player in the middle passes to a player on the outside, they swap with them. 

Coaching Points: Angles of support/playing off the shoulder of defender, quick ball movement to find free player, technical execution.
