To make sure your team perform as a unit this week we look at ways for you to communicate the importance of movement off the ball. Play-makers, like Barcelona's Xavi, Real Madrid's Kaka and Liverpool's Gerrard, are a nightmare for defenders - they make attacking runs, create passing options for on the ball players and draw defenders out of position - opening space for strikers to run into.
So who is your Play Maker? Well it's the player in the middle of your team, the one who pulls the strings, links the defence to attack, possesses vision, confidence and excellent passing ability!
Starting in pairs your players will need to be on their toes, running around cones before being able to pass to their partner. We then work on the pass and move, getting players to call for the ball before finishing with a conditioned game where the ball must go via the play maker before a team can have a shot on goal!
