15 mins
Set up a gate with different coloured cones (red and yellow) and that can later identify left and right.
The gap between them should be about two or three yards The player at the front of the blue line passes the ball to the player at the front of the orange line.
To begin with the have the players go to one side (yellow) for a couple of minutes, then have them take the ball to the other side (red). Once the players have the idea of the game to make it more competitive the coach calls out a colour as the ball is moving thru the gate and the player has to react the coaches call.
If you find your players really enjoying this game you could try doing opposites.

15 mins
Split your field in half and have the game played on one half.
Players Start without soccer balls. For the first round have the coach play the mud monster. If the players get tagged by the mud monster they are Stuck in the mud If they are stuck in the mud they must stand still with their legs open. To become unstuck another players must crawl thru the stuck players legs. The players should be encouraged to shout for help when stuck in the mud. After a few games have every player except the freeze monster get a ball.
The mud monster then has to tag or touch the soccer balls of the other players. If the mud monster touches your soccer ball you have to hold your soccer ball above your head and shout for help. To get unstuck one of the other players must put their ball thru your legs.
If game is too easy you can add another mud monster.

20 mins
Split your players into two teams, each player is designated a number. The coach calls out the numbers of the players. These players then run out from the centre line, around the corner cone and play a 1v1 game. The coach serves balls from the sideline if the ball goes out of bounds the coach calls a new number/s and a new game begins. The number of players playing at one time depends on the coach’s objectives, beating a man or passing. This game is great played 2 v. 2 or 3 v. 3.
Variation:
Try calling a delayed number so the players on the outside stay alert and we have a support player joining the game.
Coaching Points:
Combination play
Seeking and taking shots
