This drill involves a 6v6 in a 20m x 20m area. Ive chosen a multidirectional game to encourage movement and this will enable the players to recognise space. There are 6 boxes within the area all of different sizes, some bigger and some smaller and the reason behind this is to get the element of realism of a match, because on some occasions there wil be lots of space to receive, others there wont. The aim of the game is to find yourself in space to accumulate as many points as possible to win. 1 point for stopping the ball on the end line, 2 pts for recieving in the 4m/3m boxes and 3pts for recieving in the 2m boxes. Team out of possesion cannot go into the boxes, can only pass into the box after 3 passes.

Pre-season is your one window to build a real engine. This July, ditch the endless laps and learn how to condition your players with a ball at their feet.
