In this session we focus on running to support the player on the ball, moving into space and timing your runs so that you arrive just as the ball does.
To get your team working as a well oiled machine we've put the emphasis of this session on all the players not in possession - so everyone can get involved.
What's in the Session?
Working in small groups your players will need to move to create space for their team-mate to pass the ball around the defender. After a simple warm up we start adding new rules into the mix - restricting movement for the player on the ball. Their team-mates will have to work hard if they want to stand any chance of keeping possession when all the ball carrying player is allowed to do is pivot on the spot!
