Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Supporting play through the lines

Description

We are using supporting runs with width to get the ball moving around the backs.  

I am working on striking the ball as a skill but most of the work is on the movement of the ball.

Come back level with the ball is being used,  so when I can not get outside and see the ball come back level with the ball to be the supporting option. 

The Skill is striking the ball, passing and shooting.   Passing short  to medium(20m)  to feet or in front.  

Skill we need to work on  accuracy, weight. If we can get thinking passing in as a stretchthat would be excellent.

Behaviour of  ‘moving to support as forward option, resetor covering if needed’ is the under lying behavior along  principle of mobility  and support  I want to get across in this session.   (we are using width as well)

Behaviour is level outside or coming back level with ball (choose one and stick)

 Coaching points

• Body positioning and off the ball
• Movement off the ball
• Scanning, planning so you know where your next passes or moments can help the team move the ball forward.
• Every time you pass you move to were you can get the next pass or cover.
• When the ball is in the final 3rd can you get into position in the box to shoot quickly(controlling touch then shoot)

Team task

When we have the ball can we move the forward or beside pass that can move the ball to goal in 4-5 passes.   Can we use the wide areas to move the ball into the into final 3rd .   In the final 3rd can we make at least 2 targets in the box, for cut back, cross over the top or pass from the top corner of the box.
