Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Futsal 12/17/17

Passing and Receiving with Combinations, Give and Go's Variation 1 (5 mins)

Objective: Passing and Receiving; Combination and Give and Go's

Technical passing practice with the tactical concept of using width and depth and tactical actions such as Give and Go.

Organization:

- In a 20x20 yard area, we work in groups of 6-8 players. The four players inside start in the positions shown and we have 2 extra players outside. Each player follows their pass after their action is complet.

- Player A starts the excercise by passing out wide to Player B who moves off the cone and passes inside to Player C. Player C passes to Player D who moves off the cone and returns the ball straight back (one-two). Player C moves across and plays the ball into Player D's path who runs for the ball played into space and plays into GK hands or feet and progress to a shot on target.

Coaching Points:

-Create space before moving to meet the ball.

-The correct open body shape should be monitored.

-Change direction of the sequence to that the players pass and receive with both feet.

Interval Duration: 2 intervals x 5 minutes.
