There's nothing more frustrating than watching a player make a penetrating run forwards, only to find that they don't have a single support player to pass the ball to. That's why this session focuses entirely on promoting positive movement.
To solve this lack of support this session starts with a structured movement drill and slowly progresses into more match-like movement patterns - getting players to pass, run and support towards the opposition's goal.
Teach your players to recognise where the space is, run into it and support the player on the ball!
