Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 9/4/26- BP: Technical Proficiency (Passing, RWB, 1v1, Striking) (Start Time: 2026-04-09 17:30:00)

DIRECTIONAL POSSESSION – BREAK LINE ONLY VIA RWB (20 mins)

Time: 20 mins
Area: 40 x 25 (inside main 50x30)
Players: 6v6 + 1 neutral (rotate defenders every 2 mins)
RPE: 6 → 8
Intensity: 75/85%

Organisation

• Two teams (6v6) play possession in their half initially
• Directional goal: break the opponent’s defensive line to score a point
• Rule: The only way to break lines is via RWB (receiving under pressure)
• Neutral player supports possession and can float into any space

Constraints

• Max 2 touches when receiving under pressure
• Must receive on back foot and turn if possible
• If line is broken legally via RWB → can advance toward mini goal or target area
• Passing around without RWB does not count as breaking the line

Coaching Points

Technical

• First touch oriented to create space
• Receive under pressure (body position + back foot reception)
• Accurate short/long passes under dynamic conditions

Tactical

• Maintain team shape in possession
• Support angles to help player receive RWB
• Timing and positioning to exploit RWB opportunities

Physical

• Quick acceleration/deceleration during RWB
• Move into space after receiving
• Keep intensity up while scanning

Psychological

• Awareness of pressure and space
• Confidence in executing RWB
• Quick decision making: pass, turn, or release

Social

• Communication (“time”, “man on”)
• Support teammates and call for ball
• Coordinated movement to create RWB opportunities

Challenges / KPIs

• How many successful line breaks via RWB per team?
• How quickly can the team recycle the ball if no line break occurs?
• Accuracy of pass after RWB reception
• Quality of first touch in pressure situations

• Reduce touches to 1 on back foot for RWB
• Add a second neutral player to increase RWB options
• Limit space to increase pressure and force quicker decisions
