Technical Warm Up: (20 Minutes) Cones 10 Yards Apart
Start with two-three groups of players on a set of cones, each group should have 4-5 players (Maximize touches for everyone)
Dribbling Part: 15 Minutes
Start with two players dribbling in opposite directions (On the Right Side of the Cone), after they get about halfway to the next cone they pass the ball to the next person in line. The player that passes the ball must call the name of the player that is receiving the ball. The player receiving the ball must take their touch forward to the transition into the dribble.
Dribble Progressions:
Inside Outside Right Foot Only
Inside Outside Left Foot Only
Inside Outside Both Feet
Coaching Points:
Encourage players to dribble with their laces, toe pointed down pushing the ball forward with their laces
Small Touches to control the ball better
Dribble with your head up
Passing Part: 5 Minutes
In the same groups 1 player starts by passing the ball to the other player at the opposite cone, they receive the ball and touch it to the other side of the cone and then pass it back to the next person in line. Players follows their pass by a quick sprint to the opposite cone.
Passing Progressions:
Receive Across Body (Until they are proficient with this type of receiving the ball don't move on)
Sole Role Across Body
Coaching Points:
When Passing, the plant foot and hips should face the player they are passing to, use their instep (inside foot)
Passes Should be on the ground
The ball should be hit in the middle to keep it on the ground with enough pace to challenge the receiver's first touch.
Second Stage Passing Warm-Up (Optional)
Two balls, passing at the same time will challenge them to keep their focus and forces the player to pass quickly and move quickly to get in position to receive the incoming pass.

Dribbling, Passing, and Movement: 20 Minutes (Optional)
Players dribble towards the middle cone on the right side, they dribble around it and pass back to the line where they started from. They then open up and receive the ball on their back foot which opens up to the other line where they pass the ball off, they follow their pass and go to the end of the line.
Dribbling Options:
Instep Foot Turn Around the Cone
Outside of Foot Turn Around the Cone
Switch Directions to change which foot they dribble with, as well as the direction and foot they receive with.

Positional Rondo: 2-3-1 Formation (10 Minutes) 16 by 16 Grid
Ball Starts with Coach Near the Centerbacks, the game starts with two defenders and adds more after consecutive successful passes.
The goal is for the focus team to keep possession while more defenders are added. Once more defenders are added the focus players really have to keep their head up, create better angles, understand where is the pressure and where is the open space.
After 3 consecutive passes, add a new defender to increase the difficulty and limit the numerical advantages for the focus team.
Coaching Points:
A,B,C's
Angle of Support
Body Position
Communication
1,2,3's
1 Play Through
2 Play Around
3 Keep the Ball
Keep your shape and look for numerical advantages
Can we create the diamond when the ball is on the side of the field?
(Use the cones as a reference of the field to talk about shape and show how we can create numerical advantages depending on where the ball is)
