Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): circuits for possesion

P & R Timing (15 mins)

Objective: Passing and Recieving Time and Space

Organization: 20x20 8 Players 4 balls

Progression:1st: Players all start at the same time, dribble up to middle cone and stop the ball, they move to their right and pass the ball forward using the left foot to the player that is across from them, the player then dribbles into the line to the right (go both direction and change feet)

2nd: same as before but the player plays a 1 touch back and they make a wall pass.

Coaching points: timing of dibble, pass, and movement off the ball, sppeed of pass, proper foot, communication, good technique

Finishing - Reactions (15 mins)

Set up: Two lines with two gates 10 yards from line. One net at each line 10 yards from gate. Players dribble towards gate and dribble through either. Once they get through the gate they look to finish on goal. On the way back players dribble through the cones and rejoin their line. When dribbling towards gates look for players to perform quick change of direction. Players should look at the target before shooting.
