Warm up 3 (15 mins)

Passing Movement 1 (Groups of 5-6)

Development of technical ability with the ball, as well as ensuring that ball control is positive despite fatigue.

Set up: Two players on the outside of the box and two players on the inside of the mannequin

1. Fitness Based

- Inside players recieve ball from the outside players who then return the ball. (1,2)

- Once the ball has been returned, run around the pole and receive from the other outer player.

- Continuous practice for 2-3 minutes, swap roles.

2. Technical practice

- Inner player recieves the ball from outside player, who spins around the pole either left or right (on coaches instructions) and passes the ball to opposite outer player.

- Continuous practice for 2-3 minutes before switching.

Progression: As oppose to dribbling round the mannequin, return the pass to outer player who passes the ball into space for inner player to meet the pass.

3. Tactical practice

- 6 - 10 - 4 - 9

- Create angles to be found around the mannequin

- Up back and through, midfielders opening their body to set their midfield partner

Pattern of Play (30 mins)

1. 4 point passing movement

- Full, set, wide and through movement

- Movement off the cone, either side of cone to create the positive angle

- Player in the middle to interchange with player 'setting the ball' once inside player has played the ball wide

- Movement off mannequin to provide realism

2. 4 point passing movement

- Up, back, through, wide movement

- Once central player has set from pass 1, they will swap positions and outer player will become central player

- Player at the top of the diamond recieves and switches play to change the dimension of the pattern following the up, back and through principle.

Focus on the principle as a development through the thirds, highlight importance to move off the ball.

Defender will become attacker once they:

- Win the ball 3x

- Players on outside make 3x mistakes

Once a player concedes the ball through the square they must complete a 1 press up forfeit
