Football: Movement before receiving the ball

Get them talking with this assertive and alert session - working on spatial awareness, movement off the ball and communication!

Player 1 passes the ball to one of the cones for player 2 to receive the ball and pass it back after this player 1 passes the ball to the opposite cone and player 2 again receives the ball and passes it back.

Complete ten passes before swapping positions.
Cones should not be put to far apart.

Working on playing a quick pass to the deepest player on your team. Using the route one pass to quickly outnumber the opposition's defence.

After receiving the hard pass from the midfield player (red 3) the players should try to shake off the defender before then deciding to either play the pass to one of their team-mates or going it alone.

Finish the drill with an attempt at goal.

Place 5 discs with soccer balls on them on each endline. Play 6 v 6 in the area. When the ball rolls out of bounds, it should be rolled in underhand by a player. The object of the game is to score by knocking down one of the balls off a disc on your teams attacking endline. If a player knocks a ball off, he scores 5 points. If he passes through the middle of the balls on the ground, he scores 3 points.

The first player plays a one-two pass with player 2, who passes back in front of player 1's looping run.

Player 1 then dribbles with the ball either to the half-way line or the by-line where they then:

either pass to player 3 on the half-way line who then dribbles to the outside of the 16 yard box and shoot

or cross the ball into the box for the attacking player to attack.
