    This is another game from the FC Barcelona first team training sessions and this one is all about keeping possession, once again. The idea is for a team to pass the ball around use the neutral players to get the ball around. However, at FC Barcelona, this training session is used to control the pace at which the ball is passed around. The pace of the balls movement, around the pitch, is vital and the passing action is most important. From the 2007-08 season, this game is one of the parts of the first day of training for the club, under Josep Guardiola, Tito Vilanova and Aureli Altimira! Age Group: 14-years to professional players

    SETUP

    Great excercise for strenghtening fundamental movement patterns - where to support, where can you play you first touch ie; pass or take the ball away from danger. And of cause, great excercise on defending as a team. Thank you Cleat beat.
