PLANNER SEGMENT. Small Group Play.
PYRAMID BLOCK. Receiving & Passing
PURPOSE. To Improve first touch & Passing Accuracy
AGE. U12, U16.
SET UP.
Two lines – Yellow Attackers A and Red Defenders D outside the penalty box with a Wall Passer Attacker (WPasser)
on the edge of the box.
ACTION
A passes to D and overlaps behind D. D passes 1 touch to the WP who lays the ball off for the overlapping A who has unlimited touches to shoot.
D sprints around WPasser and tries to stop A shooting.
A must take at least 1 touch before shooting.
A then takes WPs place and WP joins the Attackers team.
Teams change roles after they complete three circuits.
Coach counts scores.
COACHʼS TIP.
Keep scores.
Adjust the WP position if the Defender D is getting to the overlapping Attacker too soon.
PLAYERʼS TIP.
When overlapping your 1st touch on receiving from WP should be away from D.
Try for just 1 touch before shooting.
Eyes up before shooting for corner, far post.
