Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Attacking : Space behind defenders 1c

Passing Patterns in 3's (20 mins)

Technical Warm-Up : 3 man passing triangle with combinations

Players are split into 2 groups and then into 3 lines/positions (A,B + C), playing in groups of 3's.

Player B "checks to the ball, Player A passes to B and moves slowly down the line towards the shaded area, where he waits as a passive defender until combination is complete.

Player B receives the ball from A, passes to player C and then makes an overlap run. Player C receives the ball and dribbles diaginally to opposite side of Player A (passive defender), then makes a short pass into space for the on-running player B who dribbles to position A.

Player B is on one side of passive defender (A) while player C is on the other side.

.

Coaching Points :

Timing of runs from Player B and C (pass to be made before Player B runs past the defender)

Diangional run with a short straight pass, or a straight run with a short diagonal pass behind the defender

Various types of short passes (outside of foot, toe, push pass, disquise etc...)

Visual cues and verbal communication to increase speed of play and timing

.

Rotations :

After each repetition, Player A moves to line C, Player B moves to line A and Player C moves to line B

Rotate sides for the first pass
