Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Multi Ball game.

Multi Ball Game. (10 mins)

Method:

Two teams line up in pair’s either side of their goalkeeper in main goals.

Each team has a ball each to attack with.

On coaches whistle the two teams attack each others goal and continue to play until all 4 balls have been scored or left the pitch.

The team scoring the most wins and then all players return and this restarts next round.

If your team scores then you can help your other teammates with their ball to create overloads.

Coaching Points:

The players will love this drill as it gives them lots of 1v1 , 2v1 and 3v2 situations with many choices and decisions to make.

When a goal is scored or a ball leaves play the players must react and affect what happens with the other ball.

The drill may seem like chaos at first but stick with it and after a few goes the teams will start communicating and playing tactically with players choosing to defend while the other attack.
