EXPERT SESSIONS AND ADVICE FROM QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED GRASSROOTS SOCCER COACHES
When teams are playing through the middle of the pitch they should always look to move the ball through the midfield either down the middle or using wide players to advance into the final third.
This forces play through them midfield and shows players how playing this way they keep possession and can set up play more easily
You need balls, bibs, cones and goals. Set up an area 45 x 30 yards with two end zones of 20 yards and a five yard centre zone. We used 14 players in the session
You need to split your players into two teams of 6 plus 2 neutral midfielders. Four players on each team play in the defensive zone with two players in the attacking zone making 4v2 in those zones. The two neutral mids play in the 5-yard central zone. Coach plays a ball into the defence of one team and they must keep possession for three passes which allows them to pass to one of the neutral midfielders. They pass into the attackers and two players from the defending zone can join the attack to make it a 4v4.
Good passing and movement with reaction times important to the session
