Ball Control 1
Pass the ball 3 yards to a team mate
“Look to where the pass is going” • “Use the inside of the foot or the laces”
Set up a 3 x 3 yards area with a cone on each corner. Put a player on each cone.
When you say “go”, players pass across the square from corner to corner. The added difficulty is that they must concentrate on their own passes and not hit the ball of the other pair as they pass and receive.
You want to hear plenty of communication during this activity, the players need to be calling for the ball, telling their partner they are ready to receive it.
You can easily adapt the activity so the players pass a ball around the square rather than play across the square so it goes from corner to corner around the square.
You need four players in two pairs per square.
If you are social distancing please observe your local rules. This is very easy to set up and can be used for different distances, long and short passing coupled with a one-two skill. It is a simple unopposed activity but it needs good coordination. MORE

If you are social distancing please observe your local rules. This session develops a high level of skill and movement. It is good for technique and uses both feet, working on dribbling, turning, changing direction plus advanced movements of the ball. MORE
