This session gets your players working on dribbling, passing and their ability tolook forwards when in possession deep in their own half.
Quite often when defenders are in possession of the ball they will 'hoof' the ball up the pitch and play route one football. Although this is good defensively, as it clears your lines, it is rarely very useful for your forwards who now have to compete for the ball in the air up against the opposition's tall defenders. To encourage your players to support the attack this session covers alternative ways for defenders to move the ball up the field.
To get your players into the right mindset for moving the ball around quickly and thinking about their options we start with a simple, but fast paced, passing exercise. Following on from this your players will practice keeping the ball close to their feet by dribbling around a series of cones. After having dribbled, passed and worked hard on looking up with the ball you will be able to set up a conditioned game which will see your players having to complete a set number of passes before passing the ball to the wing player to carry it up the field and create a goal scoring opportunity - keeping route one football well at bay!
