Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): RHS - Match Prep - Hanford

3 team rondo (20 mins)

Intervals:

2 min work + 1 min rest x 6 = 18 min

Setup:

Endzones are 30x20. Middle zone is 32x15.

3 teams of 6.

In possession setup with back 4, #6 and #8.

Defending team presses with 3; 2 in midfield; 1 in far zone to defend transfer pass.

Activity:

Only defense can score. 1 point for scoring behind CB's (setup 8 yard wide gate).

Must make 3 passes in zone before option to transfer to far zone.

Opposite team may drop a player into MF zone to help transfer.

Coaching Points:

~ Upon breaking pressure scan the field to look for forward pass

~ Constant support behind ball in case we lose it (weakside CB and OB tuck in a little)

11v9 Build out of back (25 mins)

Intervals:

5 min work + 1 min rest x 3 reps = 18 min

Setup:

11v9

1-4-3-3 vs. 0-3-3-3

70x10 yard scoring zone (just across half)

Activity:

Blue team scores in big goal --> 3 points.

White team scores by passing/dribbling into attacking half --> 1 point

When build out team scores new ball comes in right away from coach to counter-attack.

No defenders allowed in wide channel for team defending big goal (i.e. free cross)

Coaching Points:

+ Use of Out-In-Out to break defensive lines & Up-Back-Through to break lines

+ When winning back possession look to change point of attack (+2 vertical channels) 

+ Defending crosses by identifying dangerous runs, marking goal-side ball-side, etc.

Progression:

~Allow 1 defender in wide channel
