Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Triangle Passing And Movement

Screen 1 (15 mins)

Set Up

20 x 20 area with a 10 x 10 cone set up in the middle

3 or 4 players in each large box

Activity 

Player A passes ball to player B to start they play a 1-2

Player A plays to player C

Player B runs around the inner cones to create an opposite angle to player C as he's receiving the ball and then C passes to B

Player A runs around the inner cones to create an opposite angle to player B as he's receiving the ball and then B passes to A and the progression continues for a 1 minute interval

Progression 1

Add a player to have 4 players if you start with 3 players; 1-2 passes on every pass forcing the player that passes the ball to be able to support the player receiving the ball and the other two players angling to receive the ball from either player

Progression 2

Add a 5th player and now there are two options for the server and they can choose either option, but the server must support the player that they passed the ball to

Coaching Points 

Passing accuracy

Movement off of the pass

Support of the pass

Weight of passes

Have the players without the ball created angles to receive the ball in space

Shoulder check for defender before the ball is served
