Description

To enact various attacking situations and opportunities which we must recognise and seize. The practice is designed to offer repetition of these and develop responses to be distinctive when faced with the opportunities in a game situation.

Covering movement, build up aspects as well as raw finishing techniques and dangerous areas to attack.

Static Shooting Movement (15 mins)

Ball is initially played from the player in the centre circle to the highest player (deep receiving pocket) who then sets the ball for their supporting player, this player then sends a weighted pass for the player in the deep receiving pocket to collect and drive to the line/half space before delivering the ball into the box. The initial passer and additional player from adjacent line time runs to arrive in the box at the optimal time to attack this movement.

FOCUS POINTS

Attack the 2nd 6 yard box.
Timing of runs.
Tempo and realism of movement. Where would this occur in a match?

Progress by including opposite deep receiving pocket player to attack the top corner of the box.Progress by adding a defender, and the 2.

Creating Scoring Opportunities (30 mins)

Same area as before but focus the game on the area inside the paths we used prior. 4v4 game in the shaded area, upon completion of 5 passes (wingers can be used as overloads) the ball is fed into the channel for the wingers to drive to the line/half space, while the winger drives, 2 attacking players are replicating the move from the last practice to attack the area with a focus around 2nd 6 yard box.

1 defending player remains in the 18 yard box. This player as well as wing players are switched.

FOCUS POINTS

Tempo of the practice must match game realistic levels.
Quality of pass to the wide areas. Rather than a box ticking exercise can we ensure that the quality keeps the attack fluid.
Timing of attacking movement to ensure that we are difficult to track.
Bravery to take on early shooting opportunities.

6v6 Finishing Game (30 mins)

Players are split between 2 teams of 6 replicating the front 5 players on each team of a 1-4-3-3 (1-0-2-3) and 1-3-5-2 (1-0-3-2). The pitch is set with 2 large goals at either side of a shallow middle third, this is to ensure that there are always shooting opportunities and to prepare players for these opportunities.

FOCUS POINTS

Anticipate shooting opportunity and prepare body position for such.
Can we recognise opportunity to draw in opposition and set a team mate.
How can movement after pass create more shooting space?
Brave to recognise and take on shooting opportunities.
