Lesson Plan Control

Coaches you can use practice sessions that use passing for this session but focus on how the players are controlling the ball.

Here is my session for tonight

Starting from the right of the picture in twos passing and checking to the ball to control and pass back. Switch after minute of work. Change to using different part of foot to control the ball. Ball then can be thrown in air.

Moving across to next picture. In threes guy in the middle checks to ball control, turn pass to player long at other end of field. Add pressure from a defender who now can pressure from behind, vision needed if pressure can not turn. Change after minute of work.


Top pic. Square control now players on the outside play the ball turn and pass to another player. Ball in air to increase difficulty. Progress to 1v1 control take player on and then pass.

Last picture go 3v3 with 4 goals and touch limit of 3

Finish 6v6
