Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Session-passing combination

Warmup

Organization:

• Space blasters focusing on the receiving team (Red)

Instructions:

• "Receiving team must charge up their laser!" For example if it's 5v5 the space blasters must make 5 passes in a row to eliminate two "aliens". Aliens try to shoot the space blasters ball, if they do who ever made the pass becomes an alien
  

Coaching Points/Questions:

• For red team : Communicate and recognize where the pressure is coming from (Blue team)
• Use feints to trick the "Aliens" into shooting their ball early
• For Blue team :  How can we pressure the Red team into a bad pass
  
• Anticipate where the ball is going before shooting the ball

Progressions:

• Less players on the red team
• or instead of five passes make it ten

Regressions:

• More players on the red team
