Organisation

Skill section aimed at passing out from the goalkeeper

2 players to go wide of keeper and 1 in the middle, 1 further out with 2 opposing players. Aim is to have the keeper pass the ball out close and get the ball to the other keeper where players will reset and go again.
Keeper can play to a wide player near him or through the centre

This is based on 14 players in session. 2 keepers stay on, other 6 players rotate on basis of 2 minutes constant work whilst the other 6 recover and watch or perform rondos in separate area with other to keep moving and working on passing This can be amended depending on how drill is going.

Key Factors

Players give keeper options
Move ball as quickly as possible
Players keep moving giving the keeper options
Ball kept on floor as much as possible
Mechanics of short plassing covered
Keeper to add variance to the drill so not playing same pass repeatedly

Progression, Regression and Adaptation

Opposition players to stand off when keeper passes making it easier, Opposition can only block path of ball and not make a tackle, other keeper can move inwards making area smaller

1 player can wear a bib and play on the team who has possession thus creating an overload situation and making passing options easier
Progressions can include a time limit you can hold possession for before it switches to other team to encourage passing forward and increase intensity of the game
Players can be switched around where required for different positions or teams

Mechanics of technique
