How it's set up

This technical practice takes place in a 20 by 25-yard area and focuses on developing 1 & 2 touch passing combinations and dribbling. We setup by placing 8 cones as shown in the session image, with one player starting on each ( except for the start station which has 2 players). We will work both sides of this practice at the same time. We begin with our midfielder (4) passing to our fullback (3). They will play forward to our winger (11) who sets it back inside for the fullback to play through for our forward (10). They will play a 1-2 combination with the winger before dribbling forward and playing back to the player at the 1st station. The forward will run across to the opposite start station to work from the other side.
