We struggle when building through the phases. We’ve managed to understand how to play out, through CB’s, FB’s and CM combinations. Sometimes we’re even able tosnwtich out to opposite full back through midfield 🔥 but we really struggle with how to build play through the middle third and into the final third, and keep the ball here. We get to the half way line on build up play, and it always results in someone trying over hit a through ball that isn’t even on. How can we retain possssion in middle and final thirds, be patient with the ball.

I use a alot of your drills for my teams at u14 and our senior women’s team - we’re about to go into step 6 football. One thing I often struggle with is how to adapt the drills as the numbers I have pre-planned will fluctuate before the session, meaning I often have less. There have been some drills where you’ve added the bit extra, explaining how the drill could be adapted to suit specific numbers. Is it possible you could continue to add these to drills, i’e this drills set up for 11v11 but if you only have 16, 18 or even 20 players, here’s how to adapt. I find that extremely useful 👍 keep up the great work!

Do you have anything that works on players making dummy runs, midfield runners in behind, at angles etc
