Description

Organisation (Practice Layout & Transition)


Set-Up:
Mark a 30x25-yard area near the goal, with a goalkeeper in goal.
Set up three attacking players (one central and two wide) and two defenders inside the final third, 
Extra balls are stationed near the attackers for quick resets.


Instructions:


Attacking Team: Look to create chances through quick passing combinations, movement to unbalance defenders, and exploiting wide areas or central channels.


Defending Team: Focus on compactness, forcing attackers into wide areas, and intercepting passes.


Coaching Triggers: Prompt attackers to use overlaps, underlaps, and third-man runs to create space.

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

Progressions:

  • Overlap & Underlap Runs: Encourage wide players to overlap or underlap the central attacker to create additional passing lanes.
  • 3v2 Overload: Rotate players so the attackers always have a numerical advantage, creating pressure on defenders.
  • Two-Touch Limit: Limit touches for attackers to encourage quicker decisions and movement.
