Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Playing thru Wide areas

Chaotic Passing (20 mins)

Chaotic passing

1st Part - Groups of 4  with 2 balls, spread around 1/4 field, passing the ball and moving, without a pattern

2nd Part- A player will be the Connecting mid, simulating the "2nd man" on the 3rd man theory, passing to the only player without the ball.

3rd Part - with the same setup, players should move around more, and do check ins, switch positions, use first touch passes.

4th Part - Keep the "2nd man" and spread the group, forcing long passes

Important, all players will be the "2nd Man", rotating after 2 minutes.

This drill requires communication, keeping the head up, identifying teammates position and accurate passing.

Small Side Wide Nr Superiority (40 mins)

8v8 In the central part of the grid, teams trying to complete 8 passes so they can activate wide players thru a diagonal ball.

After the diagonal the team is allowed to score after a cross or pass back.

Players have to find the diagonal pass from the opposite side of the possession after 8 passes, hence the horizontal line splitting the field.

Progression: Free form in the middle, still applying the opposite side rule, wide players are now in their "defensive" field

soon as the ball is passed to them by the opposite side, one player from their team might join and create 2v1 to attack, on this setup the wide player from the defending team is allowed to defend the 2v1 on the wide area.
