Turn and cut - Intro

3 to 4 players in the middle of the circle, the rest outside with a ball in hands.

Player in the middle approaches one of the outside players who throws the ball at hip height. Inside player receives the ball on the knee, control the ball with the outside of the ball to turn 180 then performs a drag bag with the toes to pass back to the player.

1st Touch - Turning a Defender - Skill Intro (15 mins)

Groups of Three (or 4)

Player A starts with the ball and passes to player B. Player B's first touch should be to turn the defender while using their arm to keep their defender on the opposite side. Make sure the first touch takes it wide enough to not allow the defender to reach, then pass to player C. Player C returns the ball to player A who passes back to player B.

Rotate, then change the direction so the players are also working on turning on the opposite foot too.

Two teams going concurrently.

Start off with A1 passing to the mannequin, when A2 sees A1 about to pass they start their run and must receive the ball in front of the mannequin take their first touch wide of the mannequin and pass back to where they came from. As soon as that pass is completed B1 and B2 do the same and so on.

6v6, no GKs

3 lanes, splitting the field into 3 equal lanes and a half way line.

Attacking team can move out of their lanes to work the ball out of their half, but must go back to their lanes as soon as they are defending. Attackers in the attacking half may move around freely in their own half but defenders can not and must stick to their lane. Attackers can only score for their team once they have performed a turn on the defender. Attackers in the front half cannot pass back to the defensive half.
