Partner Passing & Races (10 mins)

Partner Passing

Separate players into groups of two, with partners across the field from each other. If players are too close, you can set out an extra two lines of cones that players must strike behind. Teach the following techniques and then have the groups race to get a specified number of passes.

  • Indside of the foot (cup of the foot)
  • Outside of the foot (three outside toes)
  • Knuckle of the foot (top/hardest part of the feet)
Emphasize receiving and controlling the ball before passing rather than doing one-touch passes. You could add a restriction to the races that requires two touches for the pass to count for a point. For advanced players, challenge them to take their first touch to the left or right away from an imaginary defender.

Coaching Points:

  • If your ball stops, take a small touch forward rather than backing up and striking
  • Move the ball on your first touch
  • Step into the strike rather than doing a standing strike
  • Use the correct surface of the foot
  • Keep the ankle locked, whichever technique is used
  • Put your plant foot (non-kicking foot) directly next to the ball before kicking
  • Follow through with your leg pointed toward your target for accuracy

Add Challenge: Once certain players are comfortable using two touches to control and strike the ball, can they and their partner keep the ball going with only one touch at a time, using the right surface?

World Travelers

World Travelers

Players in groups of two with one ball between them. Pairs work together to visit as many corner areas as possible. Play for one minute and repeat next round. The team with the most visits wins.

Coaching Points:

  • Use proper passing technique
  • Communicate to your teammate where to go next
  • Pass more than you dribble to increase team speed of play
  • Pass into the area before your teammate arrives rather than waiting
  • After passing, move to the next area
  • Use your first touch to move in the direction you want to go

Add Challenge: Put a two-touch maximum to make players plan ahead and use their first touch efficiently

Quadrants

Quadrants

Split the field into fourths. Split the group into two teams. Each team has their own ball. For one minute, teams score points by passing from one quadrant to a teammate in another quadrant. After passing, players must make a quick sprint to a new quadrant. Whichever team with the most long passes at the end wins.

  • Move immediately after passing
  • Call for the ball if you are in a position to receive a pass
  • Use proper passing technique
  • Receive the ball before passing
  • Advanced: Pass with different parts of the feet
  • Advanced: Take your first touch toward your next passing target
Progression: Designate one player from each team as a disruptor. Play the same game as before, but if the disruptor gets the opponent's ball, they may keep possession to keep the opponents from passing. Can the players move the ball quickly, call for the ball, and look around to be aware of the defender's position?

5v5 Scrimmage

Split your training group into two evenly balanced teams and play regular soccer. Challenge the players to use what they practiced in training and bring those skills and concepts into the full game. Continue coaching players as they play, and feel free to freeze the game at times to show what you wish the players to see and do.

Rules:

  • Throwins from sidelines
  • Defensive team retreats to halfway on goal kicks and GK possessions
  • All teams play in a 3-2 formation (3 defenders, 2 forwards)
  • Kickoff in the center after every goal
