LOGINReceive and support
Aims to improve players’ ability to support a team-mate on the ball.
WHY USE IT
Develops players’ ability to support the player on the ball and take an effective touch into the area they want to go, with the aim of scoring goals.
SET UP
Mark out a small pitch relative to the age and ability of your players. Place two small goals at the end of each pitch.
HOW TO PLAY
Play 3v3 in the area. The coach sets restrictions on either touches – three or four touches, for example – or a number of passes to be completed, before the teams can try to score a goal. Each time a team scores a goal they gain a point.
Coaching points
- Can you judge the path and speed of the ball and adjust your body shape accordingly?
- How can you move to support the player on the ball?
- Can you scan before you receive the ball to plan your next pass?
- How can your first touch set you up for where you want to go next?
