Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): E64 Passing combinations

POTB: Wide channel

Drill Dimensions:  40 x 40 (Cone to Cone x Pole to Pole) *Not to scale*

Organisation:

18 players- 'Passively' pressuring players in blue rotate with their red opponents each rotation of the ball.

If more numbers, add 'passively' pressuring players to back line, if less players take away wide blue players before taking away central blue players.

*Everyone stays in position, no need to follow pass*

Objective: To create predictable passing options when building out of the back to draw opponents in and create space and time for wide players to progress ball forward

Scenario: 

-3 moves out to add width, receiving ball in space

-8 checks in under pressure to create forward passing option and space behind

-5 moves back line forward to receive ball from 8

-6 checks in to create forward passing option and space behind

-2 moves out to add width, receiving ball in space

-7 moves off opponent to create 2v1 overload, receives ball across body on half turn, pushes ball into space

-7 plays 3 (Right 9 in game scenario) to repeat the drill from the other side

*2 balls moving at same time to maintain speed of play and to make each player accountable for their pass*

Repeat drill in opposite direction, ensure players are receiving ball across their body on their forward foot
