Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Worksop Town Academy- Defensive Third. In Possession.

Screen 1 (15 mins)

Warm Up:

Combination warm up focusing on a pass forward, run forward mentality. 

Two balls go at the same time.

1.) Player A dribbles the ball forward.

2.) Player A then passes the ball to Player B.

3.) Player B then immediately sets the ball across for Player C who should look to play the ball back across for Player A now to run onto. 

4.) Player A then plays into Player D who immediately sets the ball for Player E.

5.) The ball should then be swept across for Player F and the process will then start again.

Adaptations/Progressions:

1.) Only work within your own group

2.) Change rune type. Overlap/Underlap/Third Man Off the Ball runner.

Screen 3 (30 mins)

Build out/Transition Game:

This is an 8 v 6 Build Out game that transitions into an 8 v 8 Transition.

The objective for the attackers is to build out and play the ball to the players situated in the advanced platforms. No defenders are allowed in there. If the ball makes it to there the attacking team get a goal but the defending team immediately transition to try and score straight away. If the transition happens naturally the two players in the advanced platform areas can go and join in the attack.

Adaptations/Progressions:

1.) Keep the transition as 6 v 8 if it happens naturally.
