This session works on one-two passing, getting your players to look for smart ways to get the ball into the attacking third.
By using this style of play your players will effectively be creating the extra man - making a passing triangle with only two players! This will give the opposition's defenders something to worry about as they try to mark the player on the ball whilst also trying to keep an eye on the overlapping player.
What's in the session?
We start with small-group passing and moving drills before then transferring the skills to a game with 2v1 exercises. Once your players have improved their give and go decision making skills it's time to test their ability with their newly developed skills in the final conditioned game.
