Do your team struggle going forward, with attacks grinding to a halt?
Often the reason for this is a lack of positive runs and poor body shape when receiving the ball - this then makes it easy for defenders to close down your players and extinguish your team's attack.
To help your team keep the attacking fire burning, this week's session gets your players to open up their body, sharpen their first touch and escape the other team's defenders with angled runs. We'll also improve your side's ability to pass the ball through the thirds (from defence, to midfield into the attack), and improve your player's movement.
What's in the Session?
We start off with simple pass and follow drills, to get your players moving and passing accurately. Introduce some speed into the drills by getting your players to sprint in between passing to their team-mates, before then finishing off with small sided games to put their passing into practice!

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.
