Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Advanced Wing Play 3/Elastico/Mathews Tech Night Nov 9

Ball Mastery/Semi

Set up 10x15 (10x10 if needed)

Ball mastery:

Stage 1: Starts as open space area if needed to teach the move

Stage 2: Player plays across and play partial pressure for the player to perform A MOVE: Mathews or B MOVE: Elastico C MOVE:Add scissors before the final move. Player tries to get through gate after move.

Stage 3: Full Pressure after pass

How: Elastico (outside to inside) or Mathews (inside to outside)

Where: Side of the field tight space with little room to run forward down the line.

When: When we can not beat a player or player vertically or we want to beak into the 18. We are coming from a stationary position. Example ball has been played into the corner, we have controlled it and faced up with the other team's outside back. There is space behind outisde back to get into.

Why: End product. We want to score or play ground cross

Coaching Points:

Head up eyes around to see opportunity

Positive tight touch to control the ball (if defender is coming under control with speed)

Positive big touch to put defender under pressure (if he pressures slowly)

Positve Big touch past defender (if he pressures fast and out of control)

Use head, eyes and body to be deceptive

Change speed after move

Cut out defender

Final Product in mind

4v4+2

Organization:

4v4 +2. Players play 4v4 with each pair rotating forwards after every goal. 2 sets are off in the center of the channels to start. The two "off players can join the attack when all four of their teamates are on the other side of the field. The 2/3 players can reset play or overlap once activated.

Coaching Points:

1. 4v4 2x2 +2

2. Create as much space for player in possession.

3. Use either two "6"s to reset and change point of attack" Looking to hit the forwards or overlapping back diagonaly.

4. Attack quickly but use 2/3 if we can not make pentration centrally

5. Two forwards make crossing runs, and creative runs. Avoiding running in straight vertical lines.
