Practice organisation:
• Area 60x40yds, with appropriate size
goals at each end, as illustrated.
• 16 players (incl. 2GK’s), arranged 2-3-2, as shown in the diagram.
• Supply of balls by each goal.
• Players are restricted to the designated zones
& off-side applies in each end zone.
• Practice starts with: ball rolled-out from GK.
• Team in possession, look to play through the thirds
of the field, varying speed of attacking play & using
1 touch passing, if possible.
• Open play continues until the ball goes dead. The practice then
recommences with initial set-up arrangements.
Detail:
• Quick passing using 1 touch (if possible), to eliminate pressure.
• Recognition of when to use 1 touch passing & when
to slow-down play to secure ball retention.
• Use of different skills & foot surfaces to maximise
1 touch/quick play.
• Making good decisions when quick play sequences are unavailable.
• Simple progressions for this practice are:
- Units can push-up & drop-back into next zone to create 5v5 in
single & two-zone play.
- All players are ‘free’ & interchange roles & positions.
Key coaching points:
• Stretch opponents from end-to-end & side-to-side.
• Angles & distances of support.
• Appropriate speed of passes & inter-passing.
• Combination play, using minimal touches.
• Changing tempo (e.g. slowing down play, to speed-up & vice versa).
• Individual & combined movement of advanced attackers to achieve
shots on goal.
• Early selection of individual finishing techniques & execution.
Circle
Circle play
- two defenders
- if defenders win the ball then swap with the player who gave it away
- two touch to start with
- then one touch
- can we play simple?
- If we find time and the gap then can we play through the defenders?
