Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Quick Passing to Counter Attack

Wall Pass Warm Up Progression (15 mins)

In the first progression, the player plays the ball to the nearest CM and plays a 1-2 ball with that player. That CM touches the ball back into his path and he dribbles through the gate, then plays the ball to the next line. The passing sequence is repeated in the opposite direction. Sequence continues at high tempo for at least 5-7 minutes. Play one touch soccer if possible.

In the second progression, the player initiates the sequence by passing to first CM player and getting the ball right back. He then passes, through the gate, to the next line. That player, plays the ball to the second CM player, who plays it to the player who initiated the sequnce and then back to the player who is first in the next line. The sequence then happens in the opposite direction. Try to play one touch soccer. Communicate clearly your intentions.

10 second Goal (15 mins)

The object is to get the ball to goal and in the back of the net in 10 seconds.

1 starts with a drop ball to 2. 2 continues to switch the point of attack out to 3, and 3 combines with 4 and then crosses back in to the runners.

1 will loop around and head to PK spot

2 will streak to back post

4 will camp around near post

Sharp, quick passes to penetrate space on the break.
