Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Senior Assesment - Positioning Game

Positioning Game

Positiong Game

Set up. 40m x 30 m 9v7 (7v7 with 2 jokers)

Game Rules. Two jokers to remain central - instrtruct each team to man mark the jokers.

10 passes = 1 goal. Both bouncers must be part of those ten passes for a goal to count. Make them keep score.

Reinforce scanning, off ball movement and good descision making. Ask them where is the space and can we switch play to open space?

If the ball goes out of play coach to play in to opposite side.

Focus on the two bouncers holding up, protecting the ball, and releasing with a good decision and technique.

Use the players that will play through those roles.

Rotate regularly so they all get an opportunity.

Progressions - Check area size, Make larger if too challenging, smaller if too easy.

Limit number of touches to 2 or 3 if not moving the ball quick enough - or set a time limit to get the ten passes in.

The game training then becomes a progression of these techniques.
