Description

The focus of the session is decision making, aiming to keep possession and play the ball wide rather than panic pass and lose the ball.

  • 1) Moving with the ball - focus on stick, body, ball positions.
  • 2) Change direction on your command.

  • Take balls away from just under half the group.
  • Give them a cone / marker to stand next to.
  • Players with a ball - pass to a player by a cone and then take their place.
  • Once a player by a cone receives a ball, they then dribble to a different player on a cone to make a pass.

SET UP

  • Three players with one ball make a circle.
  • In the middle of the circle, one attacker and one defender.
  • The aim is to pass to the attacker in the middle without the defender intercepting.
  • Players in the middle of the circle must stay in the circle.
  • Players on the outside of the circle must stay outside the circle but can move around with or without the ball.
  • Focus on maintaining possession and looking for the right moment to pass.

Clearing wide from defence

SET UP

  • 5 v 3.
  • The ball cannot travel through the box in the middle.
  • The team of 5 starts with the ball. Their aim is to get the ball to a player on their team over the 23 line and back to the defensive line.
  • The ball can travel up and back on the same side of the pitch, or it can be transferred across the pitch once it is past the 23 line. The team of 5 can make as many passes as they like before it goes across the 23 and back again.
  • The team of 3 is aiming to win possession and score in the goal.
FOCUS AREAS
  • Play the ball wide out of defence.
  • Attack wide.
  • Look to transfer the ball to disorganise the defence and create space.
  • Maintain possession.

Attacking Play 3 v 2

SET UP

  • Players 1, 2, 3 = attackers.
  • Players 4, 5 = defenders.
  • Player 1: Carry to the cone ahead of you and pass to player 2.
  • Player 2: Make a lead run to receive the ball from player 1. Pass to player 3.
  • Player 3: Make a lead run to receive the ball from player 2, shoot for goal.
  • Player 4: As soon as player 1 sets off, try and intercept their pass to player 2. If successful, carry the ball to the starting cone (where player 1 started). Player 1 can try and win possession back.
  • Player 5: If player 4 is successful and intercepts the ball, sprint to catch up with your teammate to support them (available for a pass if needed) to reach the starting cone.
  • Player 5 can also try to intercept the pass from player 2 to player 3 if player 4 has not won the ball.
  • This activity should look and feel like a game. Players have starting positions and objectives but each round should be played out until a goal is scored or the defence get the ball back to the start.
  • Rotate players to new positions.
  • Swap sides to start on the left.
  • Keep the game competitive by adjusting the space. Ie, if the defence keep intercepting the first pass, start them further back.
