Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creating the Spare Player / Force Wide Pt 1 (Start Time: 2024-01-23 17:00:00)

Passing Activation 1 (5 mins)

Progression 1:

The first combination shows the ball going into the full-back, who then opens up and looks to play to the wide player (who is moving from in to out). That player then plays a pass into the holding midfield player, who then plays back to the center-back to restart the combination.

Passing Activation 3 (5 mins)

Progression 3:

The third progression is a slightly different way of playing out from the back. First, the center-back looks to play inside and finds the holding midfield player. This player then clips the ball wide into our full back. The full back has pulled deep to create space and will now find the wide player. This player then finds the midfielder who sets the center-back and the practice starts again.

Details:

The grays build up from the back and play with an overload in the wide area. They can play into the goal in the center of the pitch or can play longer into the second goal for two goals. A player can break into the end zone to create a 2v1 when they can drive into that space, or the striker receives possession of the ball.
