Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): WSSC - U10 - Building Out of the Back (Start Time: 10-May-2018 10:55h)

Passing Game (10 mins)

Passing Practice:

Equipment:

Balls, 3 x red, 3 x blue, 3 x yellow bibs

Grid: 12m x 12m

Rules:

3 balls, red pass to yellow and yellow pass to blue, blue passes to red

Pass and move, slowly building tempo

2.30 mins before stretching for 1 minute ( 3 times )

Progression: two touch then one touch

Magic Diamond 2 (5 mins)

Step 2: Dribble-Split

Now have the players on one side receive the pass and make a quick dribble through the gate. They can go through either gate. When they dribble through the gate they make a quick, accurate pass to the player in the opposite line, who then takes a controlling touch and passes with the same foot back through the two cones, just as he did in the first stage of this progression drill. Players then go to the end of the opposite line.

Main Activity (30 mins)

Organization:

- 30x30 grid divided in half (grid above should be on the defending box)

- 2 minigoals on each half

- 3 goals with mini cones at other end of each half of grid

- 5 players in grid, 1 player feeding balls outside of grid; 1 player at the dividing line of the grid

- Opponents in 2 lines at other end of grid

Instructions:

- Feeder passes ball into one of the halves. As soon as ball is passed into that particular area, the player standing at the dividing line moves to that area.

- 2 opponents run into the square at the first touch; it becomes 3v2

- Red team scores by passing into cones made of minicones. Blue team scores by scoring on mini goal.
