Football: Moves in 4s

Place 4 goals at the corners of the fields.
3 players per side.
Players must one-two combine, before putting the ball through the goal.
No more than 2 touches before passing through the goal.

The red player (1) stands between the cones closest to the blue player.

When red player 1 is ready to receive the ball they move towards their marker before checking off the player and making a run to either the left, centre or right gate.

The blue player then plays the ball towards red player 1 who receives the ball and plays a one touch pass back.

The red players change roles when the defender intercepts the ball from the attacking player.

Set up as shown with 2 players and 1 ball between the two.

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

Play begins with the internal player making movement to receive the ball and then exiting the square. Once they exit the square the player on the far end makes a pass into the middle player who controls and passes back.

The sequence is repeated with the middle player making a new movement to receive on a different side of the square.

The far end player should move away from the ball after he makes a pass and then move towards the ball when the pass is played towards him.

There are two triangles in this drill, both using the same top point player (player 5).

Players in the top triangle pass in an anti-clockwise direction and players in the lower triangle pass in a clock-wise direction.

Both pairs of players must use the middle player as their third passing option.
