Component 2 (10 mins)

Organisation

16 players - 14 outfield plus 2 gk.

8v8

3 zones - defensive, middle and attacking 3rd.

Wide areas identified as well.

Activity

Continuing on from component 1

Striker movement conditioned game (component 2).

3 zoned game 8v8 working into the large goals.

Blues shaped up in a 4-2-1 formation and reds set up in a 1-4-2 formation.

Players can advance between the 3 zones but not drop back further than their original zone. (For example the midfielder can go and support the striker but can't drop back in to cover the defender).

Idea is to use patterns worked on in component 1 to try and break down defenders

Overload created to increase the chance of success

Ball must be played into striker before going into support

Progression

1 player from each team can drop back into defend

Also zones are removed and is now a free game.

Coaching Points

Players are looking to use coaching points learned in component 1.

Organisation

16 players - 9v7

9 red players v 7 blue players (creating an overload against defending team

Working in just over half a pitch using full width.

Activity

Free play phase of play.

Coach is looking for times in the game when team don't do what was worked on in component 1.

The coach is then looking to show the team the solution and what could have been done in that situation then let the play go again and hopefully the team will perform better in that situation.

The reds will be shooting into the large 11 a side goal.

If the blues win the ball they look to find the green feeder for a goal.

Each time the ball goes behind for a goal kick the play will re start from the feeder.
