Skill Training (20 mins)

Organization:

-1 x grid split in 2 halves, each halve is 25m long x 40m wide

-2 x teams of 5

Explanation:

-Game starts in one halve of the grid

-Blue team keeps possession, player from the team in possession (red) can only move along the halfway line and all the other players are positioned inside

-Once the RED scores the last player on the RED drops off behind the goal.

-BLUE then start from the by-line and overload goes with the BLUE team.

-Should the BLUE win the ball and score = double points.

-The 4 defenders (blue) are all inside and we have a 5v4 (+1) situation.

Coach’s Cues:

-Ensure correct shape is set when GK/#3 has the ball

-Eliminate or reduce long 50/50 balls with the aim to retain possession and play out from the back.

-Ensure players are receiving the ball in forward facing positions

-Maintain balance of shape on the pitch, if the right side receives the ball wide, then the left side should tuck in and vice versa.

Explanation/Progression:

-No corners

-If ball is played out, play starts with opposition GK
