Last week we looked at keeping possession, and presented quite junior session. We had some good feedback from last weeks session, but some of you have been asking for drills to work with possession in your senior teams, and getting your players moving the ball around faster.

Players with ball, should never stand still, simply drifting slowly left or right can open up passes. In all drills really concentrate on speed and accuracy of passing.

Top Tips
