General (15 mins)

General defending switch of play

area 30x30 ( or as coach needs)

spare balls either end of pitch

players 5v5

Ask attacking team(reds) to switch the play from one side of field to other play through the middle where possible or over top if not ( use passing mechanics)

Ask defending team (blue) to try and stop this from happening

Use left sided def to mark wide attacker on red

Use right sided def to mark wide attacker on red

ask central defenders to mark any players through middle or space if no attackers are there to block passing lines

Central defenders to work together to stop any passes through the middle by marking players or space available and putting pressure on ball when the option arises while full backs defend wide men and cut off passing lines or ball over the top.

Progression/Regression- add or remove players to open or close the spaces available

SSG (10 mins)

SSG

area half pitch(or as coach needs)

spare balls in goals

players 7v7+2 GKS

Use cones to create 2 channels out wide

SSG- normal game, only wide man and full back allowed in channel to start.

Ask attacking team to try and play switch of play from one side to another going forward at pace when possible trying to create as many chances as possible, using the channel out wide as much as possible .

Organise the defence so full backs block the channel and stop the attackers from playing there, if one v one occurs use the defending mechanics to block the attacker and pass going towards goal and force the player wide or backwards.

Have the central defenders mark striker and block the space available by staying narrow and compact, while the midfielders try and block the passing lines and put pressure on ball.

Progression/Regression- Add or remove extra defenders to minimise or maximise the space they have to defend

Bonus goal if defending team intercepts the attack and scores goal
