Losing your marker

Very good interactive coaching drills.
Matt

DESCRIPTION

Set up a palaying area suitable for age group with a small square marked out at each end.

Play 3V3 or 4V4 with a floater player in each square. The floater player plays with the team in possession.

Play starts with floater player looking to play to a red player.

Red players must be on the move and constantly trying to make space for themselves and team mates.

Once red player receives the ball, he should play a first time pass back to floater.

COACHING POINTS

Player receiving the ball with body in open position.

Player receiving the ball ensuring they receive it on their "safe side" (side furthest from marker).

Let players play themselves first and watch how they make one continuous run around in different directions. Stop game and explain how it may take 2 or most probably 3 runs to shake their marker. This can be done by slowing down their movement and then suddenly bursting into space.
