Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Playing out from the back - Passive

Screen 1

Structure:

Mannequins are set up in a top 2-3(1-4-3-3) players are set up in a back 4-2(1-4-2-3-1). Coach plays either CB or either FB to start the build up. Once ball is built up, players look to score one any of the 3 goals(representing ATT players). 

Zones: 1 and 2

Training load: moderate

Strategy:

Looking to show between lines/gaps of defenders, build through gaps/lines. Penetrating the lines quickly. Can attack on flank or centrally. 

Key Factors: Movement between lines/ Making deceitful runs/ quality of pass/weight of pass/ slip balls/through balls.

Tactics: 

1) CB- FB-CDM-FB- Goal
When CB receives ball, FB moves to outside channel into zone 2. CDM opens between ST and AMF to receive from CB or FB. opposite CB can slip into Central channel while opposite FB comes into half space. Add number of passes, but must end with combo. 

2) CB-CDM- FB - Goal

When CB receives ball, opposite CB opens wide, allowing one of the two CDMs to drop into space. Other CDM pushes close to zone 2. the FB opens while the CDM makes his movement. Opposite CDM in higher Zone 2 can provide support FB(Can act as pivot player). Add number of passes, but must end with combo.

3) Coach - CDM - CB - CDM(or FB) - FB - Goal 

CDM initiates the pass from the coach. CBs open at the same time to corners of 18 yard box(support for CDMs), looking to push ball into zone 2 quickly. FBS pushing into zone 2 while this is happening.Add number of passes, but must end with combo.

Progressions:

1) Have the Coach call "switch" 

2) Have CDMs dictate when to switch the field of play
