Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Passing Square & Possession Progression

Passing Square

6 players per square. Setup a 2 yrd passing gate & a first touch gate at each corner. Also setup a passing gate in the middle of each side of the square. The player objective is for each pass to go through the passing gates and also the first touch to go through the gate towards the direction of the next pass. The central passing gate is to further encourage a directional first touch and a more accurate pass down the line.

You can make it a contest to see how many times an individual player is succesful at passing through the gate and/or getting the first touch through the gate. A point is awarded for both.

3v1 Possession Gates

Adjust the cones to create an outer square and 4 passing gates along the sides. Now play a 3v1 possession game where the attackers score by completing a pass through a passing gate.

*You can progress to scoring by a dribble or pass through a gate but a pass is worth more.

4v2 Shape Game to Goal

4 players attacking goal in a diamond shape. Field is coned off into quadrants so defender & forward must stay in defending & attacking halves but can move side to side to support midfielders. The midfielders must stay on their sides of the fields but can move up & back to support defender & attacker.

Two regular goals at each end of field but no keepers. Attacking team has certain restrictions before being able to score but defending team can score in either goal at any time. You can have attacking team alternate direction off attack so defender & attacker alternate position each attack.

•RESTRICTIONS :

- Every player must touch ball
