Screen 1 (20 mins)

Set Up:

  • 7 Players 
  • 2 Manikins
  • 3x5min blocks rest and coaching points inbetween

Session Explained:

Pitch set up as shown, play starts with the CM who play a 1:2 with the 9(CF) who then passes the ball to the wide area. From there, there will be different patterns to get the ball into a crossing area.

FB will overlap receive the ball and cross into the box for the CF and a CM attacking the box to score.

We want goals from the reps, but we also need to break down the crosses. 

Ask the players

PLAYERS ROTATE EACH REP

  • What different type of crosses can you play?
  • What cross would you play from this area and why?
  • What cross matches your forward want?

Alternate using the right and left channel 

Progressions: 1 Progression per block

1- Ball goes into the FB who plays a 1:2 with the Winger, FB then drives to the byline

2- Ball goes into the Winger who moves onto the touchline, FB underlaps and drives inside to cross

3- Winger goes higher up the pitch, pass goes into the winger who will set the ball back to the FB who crosses the ball from deep.

4 - Free play, can mix up the previous 3 blocks.

Coaching Points: FBs

  • Head up when moving onto the pass to see where the runs are being made, and to see defenders positioning.
  • Decision making - what type of cross? Low driven, cut back, back post, stand it up
  • Decision making - close to goal (HARD AND LOW) further out (hang it back post) touchline (CUT BACK) 
Technical:
  • Laces/Sidefoot
  • Clip, Drive, Sidefoot, Bend
  • Head up while running to scan

Challenges:

  • Can you get your head up while running onto the ball to see what the picture is
  • Can you decide early what cross you are going to execute 
  • Can you focus on good delivery with good contact on the ball.
