Defending
Technical /Tactical
In this example when GK has ball the 2 yellow attackers drop deep & narrow to prevent forward pass & encourage GK to pass to defenders ( setting a trap) . Yellow number 4 presses ball , trying to intercept , tackle or force wide ( prevent switch play) this will force play onto one side of pitch allowing yellow defenders 3 and 4 to defend one side of pitch with yellow 1 getting closer to blue attacker to improve opportunity of interception or preventing blue player turning. defender 2 can also get across pitch to defend space behind pressing player and to protect goal.
Physical
Short quick sprints to press ball & recover, strength in challenge , keep balance , stay on feet, quick dynamic footwork to jockey & block of needed.
Winning Attitude - Stay focused , cencentrate , communicate!!

Screen 1 Formation work 5 & 6 a side Attacking (20 mins)
Formation shape work 5 a side formation 1-2-2. Attacking & Defending.
Example - Set up each team has 2 - 2 formation and initially 2 defenders must start in defensive half and attackers in attacking half. White shirt players are GKs and target players. GK can move into first zone if required to become a sweeper and create overload 3 v 2. In this example GK plays into defender which drags attacker in , defender sets ball back to GK who now plays through gap created to attackers As soon as ball arrives in attacking zone defender can join in attacking zone to create 3 v 2 overload. 2 yellow attackers are not allowed to recover. Attacks go in both directions and players can be rotated to experience both defense & attack. Progression - could add a midfield player for each team to look at 6 a side formation 1-1-1-2. Midfield players allowed to move into both halves of pitch.
Outcomes
Attacking
Technical / Tactical - When Gk has ball , defenders split to create space, defenders try to receive ball open body using back foot and sharp movement to create forward passing opportunity. If under pressure can protect ball and bounce ball back to GK.One of the defenders can then join in to create overload.
Attackers can create space with one attacker pulling away and other forward dropping into whole to receive ball. This could be reversed with nearest attacker pulling away then furthest forward dropping into space created. Defender should join in as ball travels into attacking area and support forwards.
Physical - Short sharp dynamic movements to create space, Strength under pressure, keep balance, Endurance .
Winning Attitude - Communicate instructions, encourage, focused and concentration, keep POSITIVE !!
