1️⃣⚽️2️⃣ One Touch - Two Touch Game | 94-P5

This dynamic practice is all about developing possession skills with a one and two-touch passing challenge. Set in a 5 v 5 format, the session starts with one team in possession, and the first pass kicks off the action. Players must follow a set sequence—alternating between one-touch and two-touch passes—keeping the ball moving quickly and accurately. If possession is lost or an error occurs, the opposing team takes over and must adhere to the same passing sequence. This drill sharpens quick decision-making, ball control, and teamwork under pressure.

🐍 Avoid the Snake! | Mini Ballers P48

This exciting mini ballers practice is all about enhancing players' dribbling, turning, and awareness in a fun and engaging way. The session kicks off with one player selected as the "snake" while the others dribble their balls around the area, trying to avoid being tagged. If tagged, players pass their ball to the coach and join the snake by linking up with the others, working together to catch the remaining players. The game continues until all players are tagged or the time limit is up, with the snake growing longer and teamwork becoming crucial. After each round, a new snake is chosen, keeping the energy high and the players engaged.

🔥 Pre-Season 103: Sprint Races to Finish

This engaging pre-season practice hones players' sprinting and 2 v 2 game skills through a dynamic, fast-paced drill. The session kicks off with a sprint relay, where players tag their teammates to race across the pitch. Once the second tag is made, it triggers an intense 2 v 2 game. The team that completes the relay first gains possession from the coach and attacks the goal, while the opposing team defends and counters toward two mini goals. After each attack, players jog back to their stations to repeat the drill, alternating sides to experience attacking the large and smaller goals. This continuous cycle not only builds speed and endurance but also sharpens players' quick decision-making and teamwork under pressure. 🔥

🔥 Pre-Season 104: Exploit Overloads & SAQ Circuit

This pre-season practice is designed to enhance players' ability to make penetrating passes, support play, and build speed and endurance. The session takes place in a 20 by 20-yard area, split diagonally into two zones with mini goals in each corner. Three teams rotate through the activities: one team works through a physical circuit on the outside, while the other two teams compete in a 3 v 2 overload game in the central area. The attacking team looks to pass through the defence to reach the next zone, creating overloads and finishing opportunities. If the defenders win possession, they counter-attack towards the opposite mini goal. After every few attacks, the teams rotate, ensuring all players engage in both physical and tactical elements of the practice.

Session 754: Pre-Season - Speed, SAQ & Games

This pre-season session is designed to boost both technical skills and physical endurance. We start with a technical passing practice, incorporating continuous movement to build passing accuracy while improving stamina. Next, we move into an overload game, where two teams compete to maintain possession and create scoring opportunities, while the third team works through an SAQ circuit to enhance their fitness. Finally, we end with a small-sided game that focuses on players making smart runs in behind the defence to score. This session helps players develop their passing skills, game awareness, and off-the-ball movement, all while building their fitness levels.
