Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Curriculum Week #5: Passing & Receiving (Start Time: 2015-09-02 05:00:00)

Triangle Passing & Receiving (20 mins)

Passing and Receiving in a Triangle.

Set-Up: Triangle - cones 10 yards apart.

Follow your pass to the other line.

3-4 players per cones in each triangle. Total 12 players max per triangle.

Variations: 1.) Wall passes around the cones. 2.) lay off and switching the PofA. 3.) go clockwise

2v1 (3v2) (20 mins)

Set-up:

-10-12 Players

- 2 areas 10x15 yards with a central zone 2x10yds

-Supply of 5-6 balls for each group

Play starts with ball fed-in from one end (in each area). The objective of the exercise is for each group of attackers trying to transfer the 5-6 balls across channel from the 2v1 situation. Groups look to complete practice objective in quickest possible time. Players rotate position after each successful completion of practice objective. If Defender wins ball, it does not count as part of the total number of

successful transfers(ball starts back at the beginning).

Variations:

-Attacker passing ball to outside (completing objective) changes places with outside team mate

-Begin with 2v2 in practice area with outside attacker allowed to support play from behind (create 3v2)

Coaching points:

-select best pass into team mate

-create space & opportunity to receive both individually & for team mate

-try to get on-side to receive

-check back to receive the ball

-combination & individual moves in 2v1

-when to pass and when to dribble
