Help your team learn to gain and retain possession with these training drills brought to you by the coach of Watford U15’s.
Drill 1.
-Set up the area as above suiting the needs of your players and numbers available.
Rules:
-Two teams fight in the middle for possession of the ball.
-The team in possession must try and play in a team into one of the corners.
-The first team to fill all four corners win the game.
-If a blue player is in a corner the blue team can still use that player to keep possession. If this happens the blue player must leave the box and be replaced by another blue player, so they still have control of the box.
-If the whites regain possession they can play team mate into a corner that a blue occupies .
-Whites then regain the box and the blue player must leave.
Drill 2.
Structure:
-Set up the area as above suiting the needs of your players and numbers available.
Rules:
-Blues and whites keep possession of the ball from the yellows.
-They can only pass the ball alternately (blue, white, blue, white etc).
-If they fail to do so give a ball to the yellows.
-The blue and white also have a ball each .
-They can only pass the ball to their own team. Blues pass to blues and whites pass to whites.
-If the yellows win the ball they must try and score in any of the goals.
-Play for 2 minutes and then let another team defend.
-To clarify blues and whites must pass their own ball through the hands only to their team whist keeping possession of the ball passing to the other colour.
