Football: Drive Passing in pairs - increasing distance

Set up a square roughly 10m x 10m.

Have a few players at each corner.

In 2 of the corners (diagonal) a player starts with a ball. They run clockwise around the square, when they get halfway to the next corner they pass the ball to a player there.

In this way the ball continually is passed clockwise around the square.

Once each player has passed a few times switch to anti-clockwise. 

Set up as shown with 2 players outside the small diamond area. 1 ball between the two.

The area should be a 4x4 diamond, however the shape and size can be modified depending on the level of your players and the main aspect of controlling and passing that you want to achieve.

Players pass to each other, taking 2 touches, the first with the exterior to control and the second with the interior to pass.

At any moment one of them can take the first touch with the exterior to another side, this is a trigger for the other player to quickly take up a new position oppposite and they keep working again from this new position.

Two boxes of 20x10 steps, are marked out with cones.

Teams are evenly split and they stand in one box each.

Team 1 start with a football each. On the coach's command the team with the balls attempt to play a long pass in the air, that makes its first bounce in the other team's box.

Group in pairs. One ball between the pair. Repeat in 5 other areas for a total of 12 players.

Player 2 passes the ball across the area to player 1. Player 2 then runs immediately around the cone and back to his starting position. Player 1 must control the ball, then pass it back using the inside of his foot, attempting to pass the ball over the far end line before player 2 gets back into position. A goal is scored if the ball goes over the end line travelling along the ground. Repeat and rotate.
