Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 2003 Boys Preseason #8

Give and go introduction

Give and Go introduction

8 x 8 grid

Player 1 passes to player 2, player 2 passes to player 3, player 3 then passes to player 1 in the middle of the box and performs a give and go around player 2 who applies passive pressure to player 3. Player 3 receives the ball and goes around the box to the beginning. Player 1 takes player 2's spot while player 2 takes player 3's spot.

Details.

Passes on the proper foot

Player 2 must check away, check to, check shoulder, fix shape, receive on the half turn and use the far foot from the ball to pass to player 3. Player 3 must be sure to talk and call for the give and go and run around the defender, not in front

Player 2 must apply pressure with proper speed (too fast and the give and go isn't there, too slow and it isn't realistic)

Jail Game Progression #2

Jail Game Progression #2

A line of players behind a cone with balls. Another line of players next to them without balls. A 3rd line again next to them on the far side without balls. The line in the middle is the striker. Play commences as this striker runs between the 2 defenders and checks to the ball. Defenders must allow the striker to receive and now play begins. The 3 players attack the defenders based on where the passer moves. If the passer overlaps then the player not involved must prepare for a set pass in order to give support to the striker. If the passer prepares with an agle for a set then the 3rd player can split wide and up attempting to draw the attention of the defender and create a 2 vs 1.

Details:

Striker must check his inside shoulder after the check off, fix his shape and receive on the half turn. Now it's time to read and react to what the defense does.
