Orientation (15 mins)

Organization:

70yards x 72 yards (wide)

8v8 Head Coach:

ATTACKING TEAM (Blue) - 4-3-1 (3-8-6-2 / 11-10-7 / 9)

DEFENDING TEAM (orange) - 1-4-2-1 (GK / back 4 / midfield 3)

2 x 5 minute bouts with 90 sec rest (15 min total)

Objective:

Give the attacking team repitition of trying to break down a well organized defending team. Allow the team to experience fustration and guide the players to recognize the potential situations to create an overload.

Guided Questions:

1. How is the opposition defending/covering our 7/11?

2. How well is the opposition organized? Space between lines? Gaps between players?

3. How we can we unbalance the opposition before we try to create our overload?

Desired Answers:

1. Staying tight they check inside OR staying back and allowing our 7/11 to turn

2. Unless it is in transition, well organized and hard to get between lines.

3. Play wide, then switch the ball quickly. (Overload to Isolate / torito)

Assist Coach notes:

-Important to keep the the back line high and organized. Closest player should step to stop 7,9,10,11 getting the ball and turning.

-Keep two lines close and don't allow midfield to chase the ball/get stretched.

-Counter quickly to counter goals

Guided Questions:

1. How can we create space behind the opposition 2/3?

2. How do we get defenders to follow checking runs?

3. Who do we need to be aware of when receiving the ball in half spaces? To 2/3/7/11

4. How can we get behind the defender when they step too high?

5. Who can get behind that defender when they step too high?

Answers:

1. 7/11 pull defenders towards the ball by checking in.

2. Give the checking player the ball.

3. Nearest defender. Is the 2/3 marking us tight?

4. Combination play (such as up/back/though) or a direct ball around or over the back line.
