Skill Introduction: Competition (5 mins)

Set Up:

Players: 10-15
Grid size: 25m x 25m with a 5m square in the middle

Concluding Competition:

Two defenders in the middle and all other players using the side players to keep possession. Each player on the outside starts with a ball.
The aim is for the players in the middle to receive pass and dribble into the middle safe zone. Once inside they must go out after 2 seconds and play a pass into a player on the outside.
If the defender wins the ball the attacker must swap with an outside player.
If the defender wins the ball and they dribble out of the square they get a point
Swap defenders after 30 seconds

Skill Training (20 mins)

Set Up:

Players: 10-15
Grid Size: 13m x 16m x 2/4 grids

Explanation:

The players will play a 1v1 in the middle with two outside players acting as bouncers
The attacker must attempt to lose his marker, receive the ball and play to the opposite bouncer.
An attacker that manages to pass from end to end 4 times gets a point
Swap players on the inside every 1 minute
After 4 sets, create a 2v2+2

Progression:

Place a small goal at one end
The attacker must lose his marker, receive the ball and score a goal
Rotate players: Bouncer > Defender > Attacker

Team task: To complete as many consecutive passes as possible from end to end

Coaching Points:

Can you position yourself where you can see your defender and the ball
Can you identify where there is space to receive the ball
Can you lose your marker before receive the ball by making two movements (High to receive short, drop to receive in behind)

Player Cues:

As your team mate is running at the opponent, where can you create a 2v1 situation to receive the pass and go forward
As soon as you play the pass can you get in a position to receive a pass as soon as possible
If you cannot dribble forward, can you play a pass back to the bouncer and get into a different position to receive with time and space

Step up:

Reduce grid size
Add a time limit (4 seconds)

Step down:

Set Up:

Players: 10-15
Grid Size: 22m x 24m with small goals at each end. Scoring zone is 10m

Explanation:

2 x 3v3 or 4v4 games
Play always starts with one player in the back zone. The first pass must find a teammate in the middle zone who has lost their marker
