Banish the bad habit of ball watching from your team and get everyone moving and looking to create passing opportunities, running to support the player on the ball, moving into space and timing their runs.
Movement, on and off the ball, will help your players to lose their marker and to operate like a well-oiled machine when in possession, developing a smooth flowing passing style of play!
What's in the Session?
To get everyone moving off the ball and to meet passes (to reduce interceptions) we begin with a pairs passing warm up, working on changing pace and timing your runs. Following this we have a passing fitness exercise before rewarding your players with two fun conditioned games, practising moving in groups.
Try this session today to get all the players on your team moving and improving their pass 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.
