Soccer; Technical Team Training
Advanced Team Warm-up
How about this. Build a grid with cones that has 9 squares or boxes. Each square should be 5x5 to 8x8 yds.

As a warm-up give each player a Brasilian Futebol and ask them to juggle inside the grid.
Restrict them to 2 touches and one bounce in each square. Or 3 touches or 4 or no bounces. Whatever fits your team and creates success. Remember we are trying to make this success oriented while testing the envelope.
They cannot go back to the square they just came from and/or ask them to hit all nine squares in an allotted time. What ever it takes to accomplish movement with the ball.
The goal is to move with the ball, or make the ball do what they want or need the ball to do. Players need to avoid other players in the box, move from grid to grid, keep the ball alive and hopefully eventually keep the ball juggling under control.
Ask for some artistry and creativity.
Execute a “sombrero” to change directions. A sombrero can be flipping, kicking or knocking a ball over their own head to reverse or change directions, or it can be touching it over another players head, usually a defender, as the defender challenges or as the player with the ball runs by the defender. In this drill is is enough to knock the ball or pass it over another participant to get to the next space.
Maybe they could skip a square and chase the ball down, control it and move on.
Reciting poetry while juggling was always one of my favorites. They can also work in pairs. One futebol per pair. 2 touches, one bounce per square. Cannot receive ball in the same grid twice. Work in groups of three etc..
THe key is to move with the ball under control as an invividual or play the ball to space and control it when working in groups.
Give it time and consistency you will see players begin to understand their own space and how to move away from pressure or through space (taking the ball at pressure to create dangerous situations.
