Here is a simple drill you can use to coach your team positioning around the pitch in relation to where the ball is you easily spend 30 - 60 miniutes on this. If you give me a bit more info in your team i.e. level are they strong or weak for the league hey will be playing in. 1st or 2nd team or club generally. I will then try to give you some guidance on the introducing of the various skills and tactics with your team. Bram

Unopposed 11-a-side

DESCRIPTION
The team has to pass the ball around the team using two touches. However, when ever players run out of position, a player misses the ball or runs with the ball, the coach throws in a new ball and the team has to react to the new ball (keeping the shape of the team at all times).
