Football training drills

Ten sessions with the setup, the coaching points and the numbers — how many players, how long, how big the area. Open any of them in the free drill designer and change it for your squad.

• Rondo 4v2 (Rondo) — Keep the ball under pressure. Body open before it arrives, first touch out of the press.
• Rondo 5v2 (Rondo) — Two touch, then one. Find the player behind the pressing pair.
• Possession 4v4 + 2 (Possession) — Keep the ball with two neutrals. Six passes = one point, switch of play = two.
• Passing diamond (Passing) — Pass, move, receive across the body. Both feet, then one touch.
• Y-drill: set and finish (Finishing) — Pass in, lay off, third-man run finishes first time.
• Crossing and finishing (Finishing) — Wide overlap, early cross, two runners attacking near and far post.
• Pressing trigger 6v4 (Pressing) — Win it inside six seconds. The trigger is the pass into the sideline.
• Transition 3v2 to goal (Transition) — Attack the space before it closes. Three seconds from turnover to shot.
• Warm-up: two-touch square (Warm-up) — Feet and eyes on before anything competitive. Two touch, head up on the second.
• Defending 1v1 (Defending) — Show him where you want him, then take it. Side-on, not square.
