Football/Soccer Session (Beginner): Movement of the ball corridor

Movement off the ball corridors (15 mins)

Area:

Use corridors 6m wide x 10m long. Mark out with lines, cones, discs or poles

Equipment:

Balls, discs,cones or poles

Objective:

each corriodor has a feeder either end, 1 receiver inside & 1 defender inside. Each feeder has a ball. the receiver tries to lose the defender who is shadowing his footsteps. The defender is not allow to tackle but only shadow. He calls for the ball from a feeder and plays a 1-2 pass. He then turns out and can either go the the opposite feeder to receive another 1-2 pass or return back to the middle and twist, turn to lose his shadow then burst for a 1-2 with a reciever. after 1 or 1..5 mins, change the players in the middle so all 4 players play the role of the receiver in the middle.

Key points:

emphasise change of pace and quick bursts. in the middle slow down to a walk or stop still the burst and call for the ball. Bend your runs when turning out.

Progression:

Allow the defender to tackle, reduce the size of the area.
