With up to 22 players (and a referee) the playing field can be a highly congested area where it's difficult find space to receive the ball.
The aim of this session is to get your players creating space with positive movement and then using the space created to finish effectively. This session also works on the quality and timing of passes into players who are finding space inside the box.
To get all your players checking out and feinting to gain the extra yard this session encourages players to be imaginative when creating space, and clinical in front of goal - to ensure they can hit the back of the net!
What are we looking for?
For some inspiration get your players to watch clips of Luis Suarez's constant movement which leaves defenders for dead and gives him that vital bit of space he needs to score a goal.
Good team defence is five players guarding the ball, not five separate one-on-ones. The shell drill is where that starts, so here is how to teach help-side positioning and rotations from the first week of the season.
Rebounding is the least glamorous thing in basketball and one of the most decisive. It is also almost entirely a habit, which means it is entirely coachable.
Good spacing is only the start. The best modern offences teach players to attack the defence's rotations and play in a permanent 4-on-3 - here is how to coach that read.
