3 teams of four players with 2 GK's in goal

Red team and Blue team are passing and moving in middle section of pitch awaiting for coach to hold up colour cone to dictate which goal to attack

When colour cone is held up player on ball must slide pass in to attacking third for team mate to finish against GK

Player making forward run can not arrive in attacking third before ball - Offside

Black team create traffic in middle section by dribbling with ball each. Teams swap after three attacks

Key Points

Checking shoulders to see coach, space and traffic/Finding pockets of space and support movements for team mates in congested middle area/Weight of through pass in to attacking third for attacker to meet

Box passing - Back foot receiving - Unopposed Technique

Pass is made in to player who drops off cone/back foot/open up/pass forwards - Players follow pass

Pass is made in to player who drops off cone/sets to supporting run/pass in to space to run on to

Pass is made in to player who drops off cone/back foot/next pass cuts off corner segment/receiving player pulls off cone and makes forwards late run to receive

Key Points

Emphasis on repetition/Drop off cone (Defender)/Receive on Back foot/Recognise which side to play to (Safe side/In front) Pass carries a message/Communication with pass - "Open up" "Set" etc

Patterns of play in final third

A passes to B who sets A and plays wide to either C or D

C or D then cross ball aiming for runs of B or either C or D who didn't cross ball

Allow players to think of their own patterns of play to goal and experiment

Introduce live Defenders

Key Points

Movement of B to get on ball/Support movement of A to receive set (Curved Run not in straight line to close space)/Use of disguise of A to play in wide player/Attacking penalty area movement - B attacks front post opposite wide player attacks back post - A holds edge of area for possible pull backs/Timing of run not to arrive before ball

5v5 with GK's in either goal

Pitch is split in to thirds and team in possesion of ball must play off one touch when in attacking third

Players are allowed free movement around the pitch but ball must go in to final third in order to score

Key Points

Encourage players to play forwards/Support movements to play off (with) furthest player/Shape of front player to be able to play with one touch

Question? Ask players why they think it is important to be able to play with one touch in final third of pitch?
