Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Wall pass technical warm up

Screen 1

Focus: wall pass/combination play, helping recognize whether to immediately break into the space or hold as a supporting player to receive the ball back.

Organization: Orange Defender A passes to blue attacker B to start play. B attempts to dribble across the end line by using Blue attacker C as a wall option. Once play is finished, Defender A goes to their own B line, B immediately becomes C, C goes back to A.

Coaching Points:

-Player B must commit the defender by dribbling close enough to the pressuring defender that he cannot recover after the off-loaded pass goes to player C. B immediately runs around to finish wall pass.

-If the defender beats player B to cut off the wall pass, B should immediately drop back to receive the ball again instead of forcing the ball through pressure. Both B and C need to recognize the reactions of the defender.
