SSG

SSG

Organisation/Conditions

Decided on less players/full width to create more space for players to operate in. If need more challenge I would add in another Blue Midfielder and Red Striker/10.

8v8 (inc.GK). Blue striker to stay high between Red CBs and not drop into #10 position.

Blues- 1-2-2-3 (taken out FB and CM) Reds 1-4-2-1 (taken out WP and S)

Targets/Challenges

Goals as normal. Red challenge is to score as a direct result of build up play from the back (double points).

Key Factors

Coaching points for Red unit (6 players) as in function.

Rest of team - does Red striker stay high to offer depth? Can he run into chanels to offer width if FB are marked?

GK role is vital - is he playing as sweeper keeper and offering himelf? Receiving ball to side of goal?Is he always in line of ball? Is he comunicating with defenders?

Progression (manage the blues to challenge the Reds) - change formation so Blues have 2 strikers (either 232 or 214)
