Organization:

Set up a grid, divided in half by a line of cones. Each cone will have a ball on top of it.

Line up players at each end of the grid facing each other. Yellow team will start with a ball by their feet.

Instructions:

The objective of the game is to try to knock the ball off the cone with the ball that they are playing/passing with. They must stay in their initial spots, players must not get close to the ball in the middle that’s on top of the cone, and they have to stay at a distance.

If a player knocks off the ball, that same player must place the ball back on top of the cone and get back to their line. Each time ball is knocked off, player gets a point, make it a competition.

Coaching Points:

Proper passing technique, it is not a shooting drill.

Make sure players are using the inside of their foot.

Locking ankles, swing through.

Toes pointing away from the body, and foot slightly elevated.

Make a circle 5-6 players on the outside circle with a ball. 5 in the middle.

Instruction:

Players jog inside the circle ask for the ball received and pass back then to go ask to the next player that have a ball.

Coaching Points:

- Movement off the ball. Receive with inside foot. Awarness on the next passer by having their head up.

Organization: Organize a 4v4 field with two mini goals. Create 5 gates with cones as shown in the image. 3 gates along the middle line and 1 on each half.

Instructions: In order for players to be able to attack the goal they must pass the ball to each other in between the gates, AT LEAST TWICE, and they can not use the same gate twice in a row.

Coaching Points:

- Make sure to always run into space to create options.
