We love to develop a passing game, however when the moment is right, having that player that can run with the ball to beat a man or two and move the ball on will inject some pace to the play and keep your attacks unpredicatble.
What’s in the Session?
Start of by warming up with the players focussing on developing their close control and recognising the benefits of running with the ball in particular moments on the field. The technical practice then refines the players ability to run with the ball whilst scanning the field to transfer from running with the ball to make a pass when the option becomes available. The controlled environment helps the players focus on the technique before progresing into a small sided game. The game encourages players to run with the ball, again looking for passes if one become a better option. It also helps develop the players understanding of when to run with it and when best to consolidate possession and make a pass instead.
Develop your players close control and inject some excitement into your play, but only when the moment is right!

Set pieces account for roughly a third of all goals in football, yet many coaches spend surprisingly little time coaching defensive organisation at corners and free kicks. This article compares zonal and man marking systems, explores hybrid approaches, and provides a practical session structure for building set piece resilience into your team.
A player's first touch determines everything that follows: whether they can play forward, turn, or simply retain the ball. This article explores why training first touch in isolation is not enough, and how to design sessions that develop this critical skill under realistic game pressure.
