Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): USA vs Belgium Weekly Meeting

Screen 1 (20 mins)

- 20 x 15 area

- 4 players on each area working as a group

- Player A passes the ball to player B, who opened up to receive the ball ( making sure is square to other two players ) then B passes the ball to player C. who dribbles back to starting line.

Progression will be to add a defender.

- Rotation is the same. But now player B has to check if defender stays in the middle so he can receive with farthest foot and go forward. if defender closes the space then he will pass back to player A who now can pass the ball to player C. Player C dribbles ball back

Coaching points.

- movement of the ball

- check for defender

- angle of support from other players

- foot we receive the ball with.
