Shadow Play

Build up play - uncontested possession

Start to lay/relay the positional passing patterns and player options

  • If the CB has the ball. 1st pass option....2nd pass option... 3rd pass option....
  • If the FB or Winger has the ball. What supporting players should they have, Body shape, first touch (forward or back)

Coaching Points:

  • Timing of passes and support runs.

  • Encourage diagonal passes to switch angles.

  • Communication when passing the ball “time,” “man on,” “turn.”

  • Start unopposed. Add 1 or 2 defenders in the middle third only to make it a contest

  • Create and score goals

Training Game

6v6 training game


  • Team in possession aim to progress through midfield zone and into final third to score
  • Team in BP will have their back third as a safe zone ( to encourage playing out from the back, reset shape and structure)
  • The team defending, in BPO, are only allowed in their defensive and middle third without the ball, If defenders win ball, they can attacked and score.
    • 
    Coaching Points:
    • Stay patient - don’t force passes under pressure.
    • Body shape - see as much of the pitch when receiving the ball
    • Create overloads - 2v1 moments, especially in the middle third
    • Support play - get numbers into the final third to create and score goals
