CONDITIONED GAME: 25 MINUTES
The end of session game should be used to practice the technique of passing, the coach should observe oppurtunities in the game where it could have used and stop where necessary. When stopping the coach should ask the question could you have performed the pass?, demonstrate to the player and then give the player the oppurtunity to perform the pass. The coach should allow the players play and not stop the play too often or unnecessarily, Corner kicks and throw ins should be enforced to replicate a true match feel for the players.
