Inside Out - One Two's
Objective:
-
To develop good passing and receiving skills and to build awareness and vision.
Target:
-
To pass accurately and incisively.
Organization
-
Split group into two (does not matter if numbers are odd).
-
Depending on numbers mark 25 x 25-yard square.
-
Half of the group in the square; half spread evenly on the outside.
-
All players on the inside have a ball.
-
Inside players play a One-Two with an outside player.
-
Must then find another outside player to pass to other than the one they just received the pass from.
-
After one minute outside players change with the inside players.
Teaching
-
Encourage players with the ball to look around to see who is available on the outside.
-
Players must play an accurate pass with good pace to enable the outside players to “wall” the return pass first time.
-
Encourage the outside “wall” player to play the return pass into the space the One-Two passer is moving into.
-
Tell players to continually be looking up and around to avoid two players both playing to an outside player at the same time (10 Push Ups for non-awareness!).
-
When they play the One-Two they should do so at speed (in the game the One-Two usually gets the player in behind a defender).
-
Encourage players on the outside without a ball to call for it with a specific name…”Kenny! Here!”
Progressions
U11 Progressions
-
Throw in some of your own ideas.
-
Possibly combine it with Inside Out – Chipping and activities from the Mixer.
U12 Progressions
-
Same game U10/U11, but at U12 the quality in sharpness on the passing and lay offs should be of a much higher quality.
-
Insist on this (or at least, encourage it!!)
