Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): RHS - Build Out of Back I

Rondo: 5v3 Competition (20 mins)

JV: 5v2

Intervals:

2 min work + 1 min. rest x 6 reps = 18 min

Setup:

2 teams of 8

2 grids of 25x15

Activity:

Team in possession tries to keep possession.

Defensive team tries to win ball and score in counter goal.

Only defensive team can score.

Coaching Points:

~ Create a U shape across back line with #6 acting as pivot

~ Try play with a 2-touch rhythm

~ Quickly transitioning to immediate pressure when losing ball - "3 seconds of fury"

11v10 Build out of back (30 mins)

Intervals:

5 min work + 1 min rest x 3 reps = 18 min

Setup:

11v10

1-4-4-3 vs. 0-4-3-3

half field with a10 yard scoring zone (just across half)

Activity:

Blue team scores in big goal --> 3 points.

White team scores by passing/dribbling across scoring line --> 1 point

When build out team scores new ball comes in right away from coach to counter-attack.

Setup blue (defending) team in 2 pressing scenarios: 1) high press (i.e. University) 2) low press (i.e. Kamiakin)

Coaching Points:

~ Show give-and-go between outside back & winger to break down 2v2 out wide

~ On low press, switching the point of attack before midfield

~ Forwards stay as high as possible; when checking into midfield "leave late and arrive on time"

~ CB's should dribble into central channel to create more passing options (not down line)
