Positioning Game (15 mins)

Football Problem

We fail to identify when to apply effective pressure in the final third to stop teams playing out from the back

Session Objective

In this session I hope to acheive a better understanding in the roles of the 9,10,8,7 & 11 when teams play out from the back so we can win the ball back asap

Organisation

2 teams of 5 with 3 in the middle.

The red team starts with the ball and trys to progress the ball to Blue team

Yellow team defending in a 5v1 situation.

If the ball is transferred the blue team are to pass the ball and A yellow player enter their grid and trys to win the ball with the other yellow entering the middle zone waiting to cut off the forward pass.

When yellow win the ball they are to try and play a pass to a central yellow to win a point.

Yellow stay in for 2 minutes each and focus on the team having one press and dictate the direction the ball is played so their team mate can move to cut off the forward pass through the grid.

Each transfer for the BP team is a point

Progression

Limit to two touches

Every time the team in BP are forced to complete 10 passes and cant transfer the ball the yellow team gets two bonus points.

passing on the ground through the zones nothing in the air allowed

Team Task

Team in BPO have one pressing the ball and forcing direction

Team mates communicate from the middle zone in terms of left or right press

Players in middle zone cutting off angles for transfer to take place

Player Tasks

Football Problem

Session Objective

In this session I hope to acheive a better understanding in the roles of the 9,10,8,7 & 11 when teams play out from the back so we can win the ball back asap

Organisation

Set up as shown 7 V 6.

The red players players are trying to score in either of the three goals.

Blue players defend as a compact unit preventing oppostion from scoring in the three goals.

When blue win the ball they can use a maximum of 6 passes to score past the GK.

Progression

All passes must be played along the ground.

Limit touches for red team and for every ten completed passes the red team get an extra point,

blue team unlimited touches to score a goal

Bring blue team back to bottom of halfway line circle and play from the coach to the kepper to restart. this will help them take up position from an unorganised position

Team Task

All players to remain cohesive and compact when pressing opposition to the sideline

communicate when players havent taken up the correct position.

Player Tasks

11 or 7 blue to ensure they are close enough to 5 & 2 so they are not an option

9 or 10 blue start by pressing the ball carrier and forcing a certain direction.

Whoever isn't pressing out of 9 & 10 blue is to position them selves so the play does not get switched back through the keeper

8 Blue is to press hard on 8 if he drops in to receive the ball

11 to come across in support and take up a central position

Coaches Cues

Communication by coaching players in front of you (Delay, push right, push left, press high).

Are the players pressing on the correct player and stopping them playing out from the back

Are they dictating direction of play and setting the trap

Are the players shirt tight to their opposition
