Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Triangle game.

Triangle game

Description of Session: Get the players into pairs with a ball to each pair. They will pass the ball through a gate between themselves. The only rule to the game is once one of the players from the pair recieves it through one gate he cant play back through the same gate. Start it off as many touches as the players need. If that becomes too easy make it two touches in which the first touch is preparing the pass (controlling the ball) and the second being the actual pass through the gate. The person with the ball decides where they're going to play the ball so the reciever needs to be aware and ready to get to wherever the other player wants to pass it. Each pair has 5 lives when it comes to the two touch part of the warmup. If they misplace a pass or take more than two touches its a life lost. The pair who ends the exercise with the most lives wins.
