1. Arrival Rondo

Objective: Improve ability to keep possession but also find second line (miss a player) and third line (pass through defenders) passes.


Set Up - 10x10 grids with either 4 (3 v1) or 6 (4 v 2) players


Rules - When a players causes possession to be lost (Defender gets the ball or the ball goes out of play) the player replaces a defender in the middle.


Coaching Points:

In Possession (Attackers)


  • Good movement off the ball to provide the player with the ball passing options.
  • Good movement off the ball to draw the defender to create more space for the team mate with the ball.
  • Quick pass when a team mate is free as moving the ball quickly tires the defence quickly.
  • Good Quality Passes - 1st line (closest team mate), 2nd line (Miss the closest team mate) and 3rd line (Play to though defenders to a team mate at the other side of the grid) passes.

Defenders

  • Positional Intelligence - Optimum position to cut out the pass and pressure the player with the ball
  • Team work (when defending with a partners) - Optimum positions to cut to hem in the player with the ball and cut out passing options
  • Decision Making - When to stand a player up and when to try and nick the ball
  • Defending Stance - Low centre of gravity. Watch the ball rather than the player.

Attack & Defend 6

Players are divided into two groups with different coloured bibs.
  • Player 2 passes to Player 1
  • Player 1 dribbles around the cone and tries to score in the goal with the GK
  • Player 2 runs by the second cone and defends
  • When Player 1 either shoots or loses the ball he becomes the defender and Player 2 becomes the attacker.
  • Player 2 must then receive a pass from either player 3 or player 4 and then score a goal in either of the two mini goals.
  • Player 1 must defend the mini goals

Coaching Points


Player 1

1. Get the defender off balance with Zig Zig dribbling.

2. Read the defenders body language i.e. speed of recovery run. Use it against him

3. Use the right skill to beat the defender


Player 2

When attacking

1. Clever movement to lose the marker

2. Use Player 3 or 4 as a decoy.
