Being able to play a lofted pass in football is only half the job - you need to be able to control it too!
This plan looks at when players should use an aerial pass in a match and gives them plenty of time to practice this skill, both with and without pressure from a defender.
What's in the Session?
To get your players switching like Beckham, we open this session with a 1-2 Passing warm-up, promoting heads up, fast-feet football before moving onto passing over distance and avoiding an interception, before finishing with a fun three-team conditioned game.

Under FutureFit, your Under-9s stay at 5v5, your Under-11s stay at 7v7 and your Under-13s stay at 9v9. Same pitch, same numbers, one more year. Here is how to make sure that year feels like a step forward rather than a repeat.
Most 1v1s are lost in the first second, when the defender rushes in and dives. Teach your players to slow the attacker down, take away the dangerous option and pick the right moment, and they will win far more of them.
The FA's FutureFit framework lands this season, bringing a 3v3 entry format at Under-7s. Here is what actually changes on a Saturday morning, and how to coach it well.
