Method: Area 20x20m with small square in centre. Reds outside grid acting as servers while the blues start in centre grid coming to receive ball from reds,return pass and return to centre and go to another red player.

Coaching Points: Players are working on passing, receiving and dribbling. The focus being on the weight of pass and receiving the ball on the backfoot and good body shape and good communication between players.

This is a good warmup drill as you can increase tempo and intensity as the drill progresses.

Coaching Points: A good session for teaching players the basics of playing out from the back, working on 1st touch, body shape, communication, weight of pass. As the players progress we can add in more players to 4v2,5v4 for example.
