Skill Development: 1v1 defending and blocking
Objective: Yellow throws ball to black for defending header over goal. Black then turns to try to block Reds shot at goal. Black will then turn to play 1v1 with White. Black scores point for block and if he wins possession and dribbles past whites cone. Players rotate to the left once done.
Progression: Header from yellow then 1v1 vs red and block from white.
KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Block with correct foot (right/right - left/left), 5 P's of defending (Pressure, predictable, position, patience and power)

Skill Development: 1v4 possession square
Objective: White passes ball in to begin. Red must stay outside the square and keep possession of the ball. White aim is to win the ball and dribble out of the square. When successful the next white goes.
Free movement and amount of touches, depending on level and progression of session limit touches to 1 or 2 touch.
Competition: Red vs White. The team with the least amount of passes loses. Thus making the better defensive team the winner.
KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Block with correct foot (right/right - left/left), 5 P's of defending (Pressure, predictable, position, patience and power). Can we use our movement to remove players as options and give ourselves a better chance of success.

Conditioned Game
Objective: Game starts with 3v1 in each square. White attempts to win the ball and then score (red can defend). Once ball is stolen after a successful goal or lose of possession they move to a new square. Which white can be the first to win 3 balls.
Progression: Defenders can move to any square. Thus working together.
KEY MESSAGES/POINTS: Block with correct foot (right/right - left/left), 5 P's of defending (Pressure, predictable, position, patience and power). Can we use our movement to remove players as options and give ourselves a better chance of success.
