ORGANISATION 

• 14 Players (8v6 game)

PLANNING & EXPLANATION

• Use tactic board so player can see their position
• Reds attacking shape (143) (Keeper) (2 CH) (1 RB & LB) (1 CDM) (2 CAM)
• Blue defending shape (33)  (1 STR) (I RW & LW) (1 CAM) (2 CDM)
• red team to build up from the back in wide area and pass through the gates
• blue team to defend from the front win the ball and score
• game starts & always restarts with the reds keeper
• when I say stop all players freeze in their position

ORIENTATION 

• allow both teams to play at the start so the players get use to the session
• set up the blue team start from the STR
• STR to ark his run to cut off the pass to the other CH
• LW to bloke off the pasting lane to midfield & press the ball if it passed to the RB
• RW to shift across to bloke passing lanes to midfield
• midfielders to shift together in relation to the ball 
• set up the reds to have good width from RB & LB & depth from the CAM 

LEARNING PHASE 

• KEEPER to place ball in the center of the goal pass to CH back leg & support the pass
• CH to receive with a open body shape so his first touch is forward & then drive into space
•  RB tsupport CH with good angles & distance to receive the ball 
• CDM to move away from the CH to create space for him to drive in & then support the play
• CAM to give us width or to coming inside depending on who is driving with the ball
