Football Coaching Question on Switching Play

Question: I want to improve my U15 players ability to switch the point of attack and to be able to create and make long passes. How can I achieve this and make the football coaching session enjoyable and realistic?

Answer: Watch the video to see a  game realistic football coaching session to help players improve their long passing skills. Players have to combine together to keep the ball away from a defender and then make a long pass over the gate keeper to the next group of players. Progress to 3 v 2, with two gate keepers, then 3 v 3 with 2 gatekeepers. Finally play a 4 v 4 or 5 v 5 small sided game
