Technical - Support Play (20 mins)

Organisation - Large square 30x30 divided into 4 smaller grids. 2 squares to split the boys into 2 groups.

All 3 teams have a ball for their team, players must make a minimum of 4 passes in their area before they move to another.

Once the ball is transferred from box to box the supporting players follow.

COACHING POINTS

Awareness – recognise the moment to play, when can we penetrate to a new box?

Movement off the ball – Timing, when shall we become a ‘target’?

Support play – recognise the trigger to support.

Passing - Quality and accuracy of pass.

Players off the ball – join the target player in the new box.

Skill - Support play (20 mins)

Organisation - Opposed practice from the technical session, defenders now stay in the middle coned area. Attackers must complete 4 passes in their team before transferring the ball to other team.

Once the play starts 1 defender from the middle can apply pressure on the ball from the team in possession.

Once the ball is passed to the other team then another defender joins in and the 1st defender returns to the middle. Attackers can move from grid to grid.

Coaching point : If the reds stay in the same square whilst they wait for the ball to be transferred to them speak to them about splitting up and filling all the squares to support the ball. They then need to support the player who receives the ball.
