That Spanish team of 2010 were the kings of tiki-taka. The speed and accuracy of passing and their movement made sure they always had at least one pass on.
To help your team join the tiki-taka revolution this plan practices a variety of ball retention skills, starting with individual skills and then building to keep the ball as a team.
What's in the Session?
We start with a pass and move game with a twist; your players use their hands to pass the ball!
Following this fun warm up game we then practice holding up the ball and shielding it from defenders. Through 1v1 practice we teach your players to have a good low body position, with knees bent and using their arms to feel where the defender is.
Work as a team with two group possession exercises, working on passing and moving to keep the ball, before finishing with a full pitch game, passing up the pitch with good possession play!

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.
