Skill Development (15 mins)

Organization:

- 3 teams of 3 players, or 3 of 4, depending on size.

- 1 ball per team.

- 4 endzones (South North, West East)

- 15x15yd box, or adjust to size.

Instructions:

- Purple: West to East. Start at one end and try to get to opposite end-zone by completing a pass there. Once pass is completed in end-zone, move back to complete pass on former end-zone and so on. One point for every endzone.

- White: Same as purple but in perpendicular direction (South-North).

- Red: Pass among each other, 1 point for every split and/or 1 point every 10 passes.

- Every team goes once or twice in a minute and a half interval.

Coaching Points:

- Can we control (or trap) the ball with the first touch?

- Can we await the pass on our toes?

- Can we control with the inside of the foot and look up?

- Arms and hands open down by hips to signal 'feet'

- Can we 'catch' the ball with our foot and decide?

- Open space vs Under pressure: when is it appropriate to pass with a first touch?

Progressions:

- Condition: Every player must touch the ball on way to endzone.

- If 8 players, an alternative is to do 2 teams of 4 and send an alternate defender each time (3v1 as teams travel to end zone).
