Movement Without the Ball

Explanation:

Scanning a crucial behaviour that is worked on in this environment that can be easily adapted. Players pass to a player in a different coloured bib before moving to the outside of the area and looking for a pas once they re-enter.

Coaching Points:

• Scanning and movement off the ball to receive in a way you can control and set to dribble or pass the ball

• As you re-enter the area be scanning and communicating to support those who are looking for someone to pass to

• Firm accurate passing, keeping the ball on the ground to help the player you are passing the ball control it

A good practice to reference short passes or longer driven passes. Also to reference different types of first touch, for example a touch to set up your other foot to pass or a touch into space and away from the traffic around you. You’ll notice players are bibbed and goals are out ready to go so you can progress quickly to 3v3 games.
