Updated Monday February 18, 2013 by David Aguilar.
Organization:
Two teams of four play in the area, while one team is on the outside. The team on the outside is the neutral team and plays with the team with the ball.
Activity:
In the area, the two teams play possession for a certain amount of time. Once this time is up, the team on the outside switches with one of the teams on the inside.
Variation:
Add scoring to the activity by designating a certain number passes equals a point.
Limit the number of touches per player.
Coaching Points:
Urge players to look around at 360 degrees
Use all the spaces regardless of direction
First touch is critical.
Use fakes before receiving the ball.
Focus on what happens before the player gets the ball

"Practice practice practice during the week if you can, try to get some good running or excercise in as well, remember soccer is a running sport and the more ready you are for Saturday's games the better you'll play and the bettet he team does.
