Football: Quick deep pass - Outnumber the defenders

Get them talking with this assertive and alert session - working on spatial awareness, movement off the ball and communication!

Don't get caught out by a quick counter-attacking team! React quickly, hold up the ball and reorganize your back line to box out their striker

The red player (1) stands between the cones closest to the blue player.

When red player 1 is ready to receive the ball they move towards their marker before checking off the player and making a run to either the left, centre or right gate.

The blue player then plays the ball towards red player 1 who receives the ball and plays a one touch pass back.

The red players change roles when the defender intercepts the ball from the attacking player.

Player 2 curves their run away from the passer before then cutting back to the ball.

Player 2 receives the ball and turns towards goal in 1 fluid motion.

Player 2 then delivers a cross for the waiting centre forward.

Players are in pairs.
Player 2 starts with the ball, they dribble the ball in a diagonal line to the opposite cone.
Player 1 make a diagonal run towards the opposite cone.
As the player with the ball reaches the cone they play a reverse ball to their partner.

Split your players into three equal sized teams, with two teams starting inside the area and the third spread around the outside of the grid.

The team on the outside of the grid are neutral players. When they receive the ball they must pass back to a player on the same team that originally passed to them.

The two teams inside the area play a possession game. The challenge for each team is to score 10 (or more) consecutive passes to score a goal.
