Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Playing out from the back

Unopposed dribbling + passing 2

PROGRESSION 2

-One ball per team now

-Player in the middle checks away from the mannuequin and receives a pass from the outside player. Player in the centre then plays the pass to their teammate on the opposite side.

-Player who played the initial pass now goes into the middle

-Focus should be on to "Lose the marker"

-Receive the ball with an open body shape

-Constantly scanning

-Be aware of surroundings, ie, other players.

-Demand the ball, different types of communication ie, poinying, eye contact, verbal

-Decoy movements, check right to drag defender away and the quickly check in the opposite direction to create space

Build up play with an attacking overload (20 mins)

-3v2

-Play starts with GK playing the ball out to one of the defenders who must try to get the ball into the #9 Orange inside the zone. Once the #9 receives the ball they must 1v1 with the White defender and score on goal. The Orange team can use the yellow N to build up play and create an overload.

-If the Whites gain possession of the ball, they can score on the GK.

-Orange team should be encouraged to use the GK to create a 4v2

-Team in possession should be patient and keep the ball until they can find the traget player/#9

-When the Oranges lose the ball, they must react quickly and defend

-Switch teams around every X amount of minutes

PROGRESSION 1

-To progress the exercise, when the ball is played into the #9, another player on the oranges can make a supporting run and enter the zone to create a 2v1.

-The player who makes the run stays as the new #9 when play restarts

-3rd Man Runs

-Maybe if its a 2v1, it is a 1st time finish to score if the combine.

PROGRESSION 2

-The N becomes a second defender inside the zone

-Now more reliance on including the GK to create an overload.

-Also as it is now 1v2 inside the zone, the supporting run must come fast
