Technical Y-Drill (20 mins)

Technical Y - DRILL (20 mins)

*3 Groups*

Setup:

 - 1 player on each of the 4 outside cones (without ball)

 - 2 players on pink cone (without ball)

 - Rest of players with ball on Blue cone... (where the player is)

 - Simple passing pattern. Quick Tempo, Lots of touches on the ball

- Position 1 Starts by passing to the position 2 who will complete a HALF TURN and pass out to position 3.

- Position 3 will then take a touch on the outside of the cone and play a longer pass to position 4.

- Position 4 will receive the ball around the cone and dribble to the back of Line 1.

AS SOON AS THE BALL GETS TO POSITION 3:

- We work the opposite side (1-2-5-6-Dribble to 1)

Progressions

- 1st add that player 2 instead lays off for player 1 in space to make the pass to 3 or 5.

- 2nd add that player 2 lays off to player 1 then spins off to play a 1-2 with player 3/5.

Playing Out From the Back Game (20 mins)

8 v 5 game (20 mins)

2 Groups

- Finish with 2 8/9 v 4/5/6 (depending on numbers) on the half field.

- Really stress using the whole field and working the ball up from the back.

- Team 1 tries to score in the Pug Nets, while team 2 tries to win the ball and score on the big net.

- Every time the ball goes out, reset begins with goal kick.

- Can the wingers start high and wide to give space to our midfielders and defenders to get on the ball?

- If a midfielder can't get the ball can they move to create space for the opposite midfielder/winger?

*4 rounds 4 mins each (with 1 min rest + rotate players)*

*Should keep intensity high while being able to rotate players*
