Football: Minefield Passing

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.

Four players are placed in a grid next to another four players.

As soon as the ball is given to one group of four a player from the opposite four must enter the grid too win the ball back.

Once the ball is won the defender plays the ball back into their own grid and the roles are reversed.

Set out a triangle with 3 cones all 1 meter apart.

Player 1 passes the ball to player 2 through the area of the triangle.

Player 2 has to control the ball and touch it to the side before playing a return pass.

Players must make sure that when they make a return pass that it is never played through the same side of the triangle that they have just received the ball through.

This is nice variation on your regualr circle passing warm up - and gets large groups of players working at the same time (no waiting in queues).

Players on the outside have to keep moving around the outside (not allowed to stand still)

While running around they have to try and score as many points as possible against the player in the middle by passing the ball through the area to their other players.

player losing the ball goes in the middle and the game starts again.
