Even though it's late in the day, whatever stage your team are at in their season, it's always important to work on the fundamentals.
In this session players should look to improve their running with the ball technique, engaging the defender and playing a strong and direct pass. We start with individual drills and then progress into larger group drills, getting players to work as a team.
This session can be used with all players, regardless or age, finding most of the concepts simple to teach.
Originally designed to be two hours long, you can choose to split this two hour session in half or pick-and-mix the drills to suit your team's needs.
