4v4+4 Finishing (30 mins)

Intervals:

2 min work x 10 reps = 20 min

Setup:

2 goals 18 yards apart in 18 yard box

2 teams - 4v4 in middle, 4 players in attacking half on outside of box

Activity:

Normal soccer rules as teams try to score using 4 in the middle and 4 outside players on their team.

Outside players should play in 1-2 touch.

Outside players cannot defend.

Coaching Points:

+ When ball goes wide, move opposite for service into middle

+ Using endling players for combinations

+ Working to create scoring chances between the posts and inside penalty spot

4v3 Flying Changes (30 mins)

Intervals:

3 min work + 1 min rest x 4 games = 16 minutes

Setup:

44x40 field with 2 goals and a center line (for offside)

Activity:

Normal flying changes except there's an all-time #9 that only attacks which puts the attacking team in a 4v3 situation.

Coaching Points:

+ Thinking about defending when attacking and vice versa

+ Defenders using offside line to compact space

+ Attackers making forward runs when player on ball has time and space
