Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Buildout Patterns

Buildout Patterns

Organization:

Field split in half

2 buildout groups - 1 ball per group

1 floating group- 1 ball

Extra balls with GK

Instructions:

Gk Plays ball to begin the activity to one group and then immediately plays a pass the other buildout group

Buildout Groups:

Look to use varying buildout methods to cross into end zone into the 9/10

Once the ball is received by that player they reverse the pattern back towards the goalkeeper

Once the goalkeeper receives the return pass they recirculate to the opposite CB to restart

Floating Group: Looks to pass amongst each other, floating throughout the grid to provide traffic

Introduce varying buildout patterns

Point structures:

Buildout Groups: get a point every time that they play into the end zone and back to the goalkeeper. Minimum 4 passes in each direction (8 minimum total to get a point), if they hit the floating group or pass goes astray they lose all points

Floating Groups:

Look to pass amongst each other, every 5 passes equals a point; if their ball hits one of the 2 buildout groups, they lose all their points

Coaching Points/Questions:

-Look to time the movements and provide optimal shape during the buildout moments from the CDM, CM, WB, CB

-Body shape to be able to have multiple options when playing

-Cues related to combinations during buildup
