Red: Jill, Grace, Dan, Isa, Gabby, Ashlee Blue: Rachel, Jess H., Maya, Lex, Meg, Gia Green: Ken, Talia, Ava

Subs: Jess B, Jenna, Vanessa

Framing:

Organization 1. Re-Cap the Teams 2. Red in possession, Grid is open, Play between the gates = 1 point 3. Blue score in counter goals = 1 point 4. No touch restriction.

Coaching Points to think about: Can you see the field (3 corners)? Support above and below the ball. Type/Weight/Texture of Pass

4 MIN. Round 1:

Concurrent Feedback: "Patience", Speed of play "Faster", "Protect the Ball", (Is Opposition Pressing with Enough tempo)

Coaching Process: None

2 MIN Terminal Break: Ask opposition - "What is easier to defend large structure or everyone going to the ball?" If they are big may have to use cover shadow/split difference to jump the lane.

Demo: See the whole field in possession

4 MIN. Round 2:

Concurrent Feedback: "Playing Forward out of pressure" "Unmarking" "Patience", Speed of play "Faster", "Protect the Ball"

Coaching Process: Look for player receiving back to goal and FREEZE - Coach movement to ball and opening up

2 MIN Terminal Break:

Individual Coaching: Decision to Unmark and/or Unbalance the opposition

*Increase Challenge: 2pts for scoring in counter goal.

* Bumper to Bumper = 1 Touch - What does that mean for the support? (not looking for answer just go do it)

4 MIN. Round 3:

Concurrent Feedback: "Support", "Give it to get it back" "Find Space Player" "Overloads/Rondos" "Patience", Speed of play "Faster", "Protect the Ball",

Coaching Process: Demo - Looking for time when there was no support under the Neutral player in middle

2 MIN Terminal Break:

*** IF TEAMS HAVE BEEN "PLAYING THROUGH" - Which they should the "gates" are central

*Add Overload to isolate to "Play AROUND the Block"

* Discuss taking Advantage of low pressure on the ball

* Bumper to Bumper = 1 Touch - Unless you can "Go over" the block Bumpers can take a prep touch first.

4 MIN. Round 4:

Concurrent Feedback: "Patience Going Over" "Support", "Give it to get it back" "Find Space Player" "Overloads/Rondos" "Patience", Speed of play "Faster", "Protect the Ball",

Coaching Process: - Looking for time when Playing Around the Block was the smarter Option.

Debrief: Check for understanding

Red: Def: Jill, Rachel, Megan, Grace, MF: Ken, Ava FW: Isa, Jess B, Gia Blue: Def: Jess H., Dan, Lex, Jenna DCM:Gabby, FWD:Talia, Ashlee, Maya

Subs: Vanessa

Framing: 1. Give the Teams and Positions 2. Red Looking to Create goal scoring opportunities trough rotations/overloads/breaking lines 3. Blue looking to counter Quickly. 4. All dead balls situations will start from coach 5. No Touch restriction

2 MIN Round 1: Just play

1 MIN Terminal: Give Blue(Managed Team) Markers for starting hight in pressure as well challenge to prevent opportunities from central channel (looking for the 7 to prevent space central)

5 MIN Round 2:

Concurrent Feedback: Protect the Ball, Play FWD when On, Occupy each Gate

Coaching Process: Demo - Looking for times when Isa is staying wide in possession and not allowing Grace to get high in overload. Involves the 10 looking to Occupy the half space high to get cover from the Opposition 10. *Also intrechange with Grace taking half space with Isa staying wide.

2 MIN Terminal:

Ask opposition ways to combat the wide overload? Guided discovery toward the 7 Supporting the overload in the wide channel

Individual Challenge: Based on Actions in last Round

*Add a transition moment to the Managed team from Coach when ball goes out of play.

5 MIN Round 3:

Concurrent Feedback: Protect the Ball, Play FWD when On, Occupy each Gate

Coaching Process: Demo - Looking for times when Opposition 7 is covering the wide channel for Isa to stay wide and allow Ava to sit in G2 - Grace is then responsible to play underneath occupying the Opposition 6. Attempting to then have Grace or Ava on the ball for runs in behind from Isa. *If rotation happens the triangle should remain present and re-attempt the ball in behind.

2 MIN Terminal:

Ask opposition ways to combat the play in behind? Looking for dropping off to create a more effective/lower block

*Discuss Counter Measures with the Focus team in their shape 2-2

5 MIN Round 4:

Concurrent Feedback: Counter Measures, Protect the Ball, Play FWD when On, Occupy each Gate

Coaching Process: Looking for times when there is space for Isa, Grace, Ava to cross to the back post from half space or move inside for shooting opportunity.

2 MIN Terminal:

Reading the opposition and putting together the correct options. As they shift to cover the LEFT may need to overload to isolate on the right.

No Restrictions, Play with transitions and natural restarts

5 MIN Round 4:
