Session Details

Players are locked in to their halfs to begin with, 2 x outside common player operate in the wide channels unopposed, the inside common player player can move in to any half creating an overload for the team in possession. The 3 common players play with the team in possession of the ball. After 3 passes the ball can be worked out wide where the wide player can move in to the attacking half of his channel to deliver a cross in to the box and creat chances for the attacking players.

4 x 3min block with terminal feedback in between

For this session I will be working with the RED Team out of possession if they are spending to much time in possession I can give them conditions on number of touches, time in attacking half, count down to getting a shot/header on goal.
