11v11 (30 mins)

11v11

Duration:

3 x 10 minute Intervals 

Teaching points:

• Quick and continuous ball movement to manipulate oppositions structure 
• (1) Rotation of midfielders to open up progressive passing options in central areas.
• (2) Look to encourage opposite Pivot (If playing with 2) to lower to offer a diagonal passing option to avoid a vertical ball into a central area. 
• (3) Forward runs from Midfielders and Forwards to help create structures in progressive area's of the field to avoid being pressured and contained inside own half. Aim is to maintain possession in higher area's of the field to: limit possession loss through un-forced errors and keep the ball in an area in which we can start the creative phase of offensive organisation and look to finalise an attack.
