Breaking Lines

Organisation - Breaking Lines 

Area - 40x40 box with a row of cones in the middle (like the line in the picture)

Players - 17

Description - split the teams evenly if they can, then put two players from each of the teams over the other side who are stood on their own. The other side should have 7-8 players (number depending).

The ball will be with the side who has the most players. They will have to make 4 passes and then once they have made the four passes they need to transfer the ball into the player in the other side. 

Once the ball reaches the player in the other side then 6 or 7 players will transfer across to the other side with the player who was on their own. There will be one player from both teams left int he area they moved from. 

The player who receives the ball in the other area can not be tackled until their whole team is over the other side. 

Progressions

  • make the pitch smaller so instead of it being 40x40, make it go to 30x30. This will make the players think about the amount of touches on the ball they can have and their body position.
  • Take the middle parting out, this will then show you if they have understood the concept of what breaking lines looks like.
Limitations 
  • If they are taking to many touches turn it to 2-3 touches on the ball.
  • If they haven’t played the ball over in a time limit the other team gain the ball.
  • If they haven’t transferred quick enough give the ball to the other team.

Alamo

Organisation - Alamo

Area -  20x50, 1 big goal, 1 mini goal.

Players - 17

Description - when they come over from the first practice they will be kept in the same teams. One group will go at the side of the big goal, the other group will go at the side of the mini goal at the other end of the area laid out. 

The players will dribble towards their goal they are shooting they will be allowed to have 2-3 dribbles towards their goal goal they are shooting, once they have had it they will take a shot on goal. If they score they will retrieve the ball and then join the queue to the other goal ready to shoot in the opposite goal. The same will happen if the keeper saves the ball or the ball goes wide. 

Progressions

  • The player who is at the front of the line will go and stand in front of the line, the player will pass them the ball, they then will have a laid off pass and then will go on to shoot.
  • The player who was the laying the ball off with the pass will switch but the next person will, ask for the ball and they will then either play a laid off pass or they can pick the ball up and throw it in the air and make them chase it.
