Objectives

This week's session is designed to improve the range and technique of passing in your players.

Setup

Players in groups of four in an area of 40 yards x 15 yards.

Coaching points

Player 1 passes to player 2. player 2 sets the ball back at an angle for player 1 to strike first time.   Player 1 strikes the ball high or low onto player 4.   Player 4 controls and passes to player 3 for player 3 to set the ball back to player 4 to repeat the practice.

After each delivery player 1 and 2 change roles as do players 3 and 4.

When driving the ball low, the kicking player needs a tight ankle on contact, keeping the head down and kicking through the centre of the ball.

Ask the players to be imaginative when striking the ball; bend the ball, chip it, drive it, use the outside of the foot and so on.
