Set up a couple of mini pitches and as players arrive split them into teams and have them play a small sided game. Tell the players that the focus of today's session is Ball Mastery, skills, dribbling, turning, etc. Ask the players if they can demostrate any of these things during the game.

Coaching Points:

Look out for displays of skills and ball mastery. Give plenty of praise when players show their skills.

Another way to progress this paractice would be to have 4 players on the outside of the corridor working inpairs with a ball between each pair.

Can the players on the outside recognise gaps between the dribbling players to play passes to each other across the corridor?

Passing players must not force their passes.

Can the dribbling players intercept passes without losing control of their own ball?

Can the dribbling players work together to reduce the size of the gaps?
