Screen 1

Passing and receiving

Back foot receiving-
Player bottom of the line will dribble to the line diagonally to them, when they arrive they will stop the ball at the red cone.
This will activate player 3 who will drop in line with the defender to receive on the back foot, as they take their first touch player 4 will roll out and receive back foot to dribble back to the start. The practise is mirrored on the opposite side

Pass (Speed, height placement)

Timing of movements- (eye contact) distance they pull off? Short and quick movement

Difference between pass and set ( set allows actions to happen in-between e.g player to move in order to receive next pass)

First touch (behind defender, which foot? safe side? back foot?)

Body shape to receive. (pull off in line with defender, not in front or behind, if they're pinning the defender
body shape- arm up, knees bent, strong core, front foot receiving) Hips open so they can see where the ball comes from and where they're passing.

Try and drip feed these into small interventions rather than introducing them into one intervention.

You may look at passing detail and receiving in one intervention

Body shape and timing of movement in another.
Players should look to recognise the difference between pass and set

4v4+4

Players should look to maintain possession for as long as possible, 7 consecutive passes represents a goal.

In possession:-

Look to create height and width
Look to utilise outside players to create as many passing options as possible
Look to receive on the back foot and play into a new space quickly
Players should look to step behind pressure to receive to beat the press

Out of possession:-

Recognise pressing triggers
Don't allow the opposition to play through, force around ( Don't let them split)
Press with intent and energy to win the ball back
