Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): combo play to targets

combo warm up

set up: 6 to 8 players per team or 12 to 16 total. Two soccer balls , one per team

Grid: 15x15 yds

Figure 1: each team places two players in the box, two players on end lines, opposite sides. Each team will play with one ball per team. The ball will enter from outside player. 

Figure 2: Once ball is played, inside players will make combo plays before passing the ball out. This could be left up to players or a set given by coach. Both teams will be going at the same time ( figure 1.) this will make kids have to worry about traffic. 

Coaching points: angles of pass, 1-2s, over laps, finding targets, pace of ball, when to dribble, when to pass, head up, 

2v2 to 3v2 to targets

Progression: Players now play a target, he now can join the game. This will make it a 3v2 in the middle. Players can also go backwards to keep possession. IF they play backwards and player is in, the must come back out, two outside players on the same end line cannot be in at same time. 

Coaching points: Same as above, find a 2v1, runs to move defenders ( create space.) Triangulation play,
