Looking for space and moving for the ball

This session focuses 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.

You may have one of the best players in your league in your side but they're only as good as the service they receive from their team-mates.

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 of the ball - so everyone can get involved.

However, we also recognise that sometimes the problem can be players running forwards without looking up and getting themselves into trouble. To put a stop to this foolhardy running we've included some exercises which restrict player's movement when they're on the ball - stopping your players from putting unnecessary pressure on themselves.

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!
