Specific Practice (10 mins)

In possession - Rotation of players, use spare man, ball speed, Angle of pass

Overlap/Underlap

Weight & accuracy of Final Pass - Can the player finishing shoot 1st time?

Organisation

Quarter pitch practice, focusing on creating and exploiting the overload centrally and in the final third. 4v4 + 2 common players. The whites are looking to exploit the 3v2 overload in the central area. Server feeds the ball into whites and they must combine and play into the final third where the 2 centre forwards must attack against the two centre backs and goalkeeper. Players locked in their sections to start apart from the wide forwards who can enter the final third once the ball has entered. If blues win possession, they can finish into the 2 mini goals to score.

Challenges - whites in central area must make at least 2 passes before trnasferring it into the final third. One white centre forward can drop in to create a 4v2 overload. Blue defender can track the white centre forward into the central area. One midfielder can break into the final third. whites must finish within 5 seconds once it enters final third.

Conditions - Add the wide areas, reduce the length of the central area - wjites now have less space to work in.

Targets - The main goal and 2 mini goals.

Loading - 3 x 3 mins + 3 mins rest = 10 mins.

Overlap/Underlap

Weight & accuracy of Final Pass - Can the player finishing shoot 1st time?

Organisation

Half pitch practice, focusing on creating and exploiting the overload centrally and in the final third. 5v5 + 2 common players. The whites are looking to exploit the 4v3 overload in the central area. Coach feeds the ball into reds and they must combine and play into the final third where the 2 centre forwards must attack against the two centre backs and goalkeeper.

If Blues win the ball they now aim to do the same agaisnt opposition keeper, however this should not be coached (just managed)

Condition - Blues only have 8 seconds to score once possession has beeen won, this will allow for more coaching time on the given topic.
