Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 2011/2012 Boys Team Session Feb 15th (Start Time: 2023-02-15 17:30:00)

3 out 1 in passing (15 mins)

3 out 1 in passing

A grid of 8 x 8 with 3 players outside the grid and 1 player inside.

Player 1 passes to the middle and gets the pass back in the open space.

While this is happening, player 2 passes to player 3

As the player receives the pass from the outside, they play a wall pass with the middle and works that wall pass around to the next side of the square.

Player in the middle has to constantly get their head on a swivvle and see the next pass coming.

Potential Progression

Only at higher levels but the coach can shout change and have the players change the direction of the passes to see if they can make the quick adjustments.

Coaching Points

Player on the middle must receive on the back foot

Details for passing (name, info, show with your hand where you want the pass, weight and direction of pass)

When the player is going to receive the pass from another on the outside, they should be checking away, checking to, chek shoulder, fix shape and receive on the half turn

Player 3 now passes to the middle and player 1 passes to player 2

They are all constantly moving around the grid and the player in the middle is always with his head on a swivvle being sure to up up to the new ball coming in to the grid.

9 vs 5, 5 vs 2 (20 mins)

9 vs 5, 5 vs 2

Grid dependant on space, ability of players and numbers (can do more plyers if team dictates that)

players play 5 vs 2 in the middle box, when the 2 wins the ball, play open to the big box and play is 9 vs 5.

Key points

working on transition team play and possession
