Stop your players giving away possession from bad passing with this session! Emphasise the use of communication and creating space for the pass to help keep possession, working together as a team, even if this means going backwards rather than forwards. Stress the importance of maintaining possession by selecting the right pass, not just passing into space when no-one is there and risk losing the ball!
Work on different passes with your players, using different possession games to get your players used to this style of play, making sure their passing is accurate and strong. Make sure they communicate so their team-mates know exactly where to pass and not giving it straight back to the opposition!
Maintain possession and go on the attack with your team!

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.
