Football: Quick deep pass - Outnumber the defenders

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

Don't get caught out by a quick counter-attacking team! React quickly, hold up the ball and reorganize your back line to box out their striker

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.

Split your players into three equal sized teams, with two teams starting inside the area and the third spread around the outside of the grid.

The team on the outside of the grid are neutral players. When they receive the ball they must pass back to a player on the same team that originally passed to them.

The two teams inside the area play a possession game. The challenge for each team is to score 10 (or more) consecutive passes to score a goal.

Player 2 curves their run away from the passer before then cutting back to the ball.

Player 2 receives the ball and turns towards goal in 1 fluid motion.

Player 2 then delivers a cross for the waiting centre forward.

2 players outside the area play a ball into one of their players in the grid. 

The 2 players in the grid play 2 v 4 to try and score a goal on the half way line by dribbling the balll through the gate.

The 4 players try to win the ball and when they do they have to break as quick as they can and try to score a goal.

the only 2 defenders that can stop them are the 2 defenders out side the grid. (Blue dot players)
