Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• 40x30 yrd grid split into three channels 10 yrds wide.
• 4 players of the same colour play in each channel. Two positioned by a central cone and one at each end.
• 3 Teams (4xYellow, 4xRed, 4xBlue).
• A cone or flag positioned centrally in each channel.

Instructions

• The end players play passes into the two central players (midfield players) by the central cone (which simulates a defender).
• The central players start next to the defender (central cone).
• The two central players in each channel create space short and long to receive a pass.
• One receiving the pass they either pass on to the other end target player. OR combine with the other central player (who creates an angle to receive), then pass through to the opposite end.
• a) R2 checks short to get space and opens up their body position to receive the ball. b) R3 checks long to potentially receive a pass long (past the defender).
• R1 selects R2 to pass into.
• R2 then checks back (wide) to create a good passing angle around the central defender (cone) to be able to receive and pass into the opposite target end R4.
• R2 plays a combination pass to R3.
• R3 passes to the end target (R4) to complete the sequence. The process is then repeated in the opposite direction. Rotate player positions after 4mins.

Scoring

• None.
