Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Pattern Play (Emphasis - 2x Pass, Give&Go, Shooting technique)

Pattern

Organization:

2 groups of 3 set up on each side of the field.

1 ball per group.

*Left diagram outlines passing sequence

*Right diagram outlines player movement.

Instructions:

A plays to B > double pass back to A.

B peels out and runs upfield toward C.

A drives ball into C who plays back to B running underneath.

B combines give and go with C to receive ball at top of box and shoot.

*C shags ball and joins back of line on opposite side.

Rotation = A (passer)-B (shooter)-C (setter).

Coaching Points:

- Double pass (strength of return pass determines next action)

- Give and go (do you play feet or into space on return pass?)

- Shooting technique (Driven, curled, inside of foot, chipped?)

Progressions:

- Player C has option of receiving to turn and shoot.
