Organization:

2+2 + 2 + 3 vs GK+2+2+2+3 ie 9 v 10

Two teams: the offensive team (Red)and defending team (blue)

WHAT I TELL THE PLAYERS TO DO

RMF/LMF must start the play with: pass -wall pass, diagonal, parallel pass to either 10, S1, S2, 7 & 11
7 & 11 players receive and either do a flank serve as in a game, find a pass that will lead to a shot or shoot.
Switch teams after every 5 mins, Blue Team becomes offensive.
Play for 20mins at high tempo and physically demand from players.(players stay in their zone for 15 mins then allow them to enter other zones but maintaining POSITIONAL PLAY).
Play normally and remove all the restrictions- 2 goals, 2 keepers and normal rules apply

FINISHING COACHING POINTS:

· Stay calmunder pressure

· Use yourarms for balance

· Strikethe ball towards the corners

· Hit theball across the goalkeeper if you can

· Learn touse all side of your feet to strike the ball

· Laces formore power – side foot for more placement

· Find abalance between accuracy and power ratio

· Get thebody in alignment for the right shot

· Non-kickingfoot placed firmly beside the ball

· Keep yourhead still

· Learn andunderstand the different ball contact points for each type of shot

· EG:Straight through the center of ball with the laces

· EG: Wrapyour foot round the ball just off-center to curl it

Defensively: belief and confidence

Communicate, stay compact/organized, press, cover, remember when the ball goes wide, a flank serve will come in so defenders have to mark closely and try to see the ball and their defensive mark.
Anticipate and mark the space
Once the ball is won, must PASS it to an outside teammate to move to offensive players.
Quick counter Attack

Offensively: belief and confidence

This is a scoring game. Use 1v1, QUICK COMBINATION PLAY IN AND AROUND THE PENALTY BOX, getting on the end of flank service to score.
When the ball is lost, don't let the defence play it to their outside teammates, win it back QUICKLY AND AGGRESSIVELY and score.
