Passing Skill -3v1 (20 mins)

Key Factors

3v1 in 4 Squares

Red and Blues in Possession - Yellows Defending

Swap defender after 1 minute

Keep Ball

To start - no instructions given just play.

Box 1 - bad example.

Players too close so easier to mark

Not utilising all of the space available

Box 2 - Good Example

Using all of the space.

As ball is played from Player one to player 2, using box corners as a reference point, as that ball is played, can player 3 get in a position to "support play" by getting into position 4.

If ball is played back from 2 to 1, reverse the run and return to 3.

Stay inside the box, but use all of the space available.

Progression 1 - Box 3

Rotation

So if one has the ball and not under pressure, can 2 and 4 make crosoong runs to swap positions

AT NO STAGE SHOULD A MAN WITH THE BALL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE THE FEET OF THE TWO OTHER SUPPORTING PLAYERS

Progression 2

6v2

Keep in same area zones but can transfer the ball between zones

If player receiving the ball has their back to the team, can they set and then play through into next zone.
