5v5+3 (20 mins)

Organization:

- Space adjusted as needed

- Two teams of 5, 3 jokers in the middle

Instructions:

- In possession, team organizes itself on the edge of the grid with two CB's, a RB, LB, and forward. Three jokers in the middle acting as DM, CM, CAM. Team out of possession is defending inside the grid trying to win the ball.

- Attacking team is trying to play the ball from CB's to Fwd

- When a team loses the ball, they get compact and move into the field to squeeze the space

- When a team wins possession, they quickly open up and take their shape as shown above.

Coaching Points:

- Two most basic concepts, especially when playing out from the back and in the transition moments: When we have the ball, what do we want to make the field?(Bigger) When we don't have the ball, what do we want to make the field?(Smaller)

- Body shape in receiving and playing, can we give ourselves more options with how we receive

- Communication off the ball to indicate the next pass, where it should go, how it should be delivered, and what should happen next

- Verbal and nonverbal cues that will initiate sequences. I.E. when CB passes into DM, body shape is initiating movement from one outside back vs the other outside back

- Can we attract the defenders into the middle by finding our DM or CM to then open up space for our outside backs

- Creating passing lanes and ensuring that we are maximizing our space. Rotation in the middle to create space inside and out

- In transition, when we win possession, when to reset to get our shape vs when to quickly play forwards to break through the lines

- How to reset and give ourselves time to open up

- Being proactive and reading the situation to realize when a transition moment is going to occur

- In transition, when we lose possession, when to step and win back immediately vs when to re-organize and recover behind the ball

7v7Half Field Match (20 mins)

Organization:

Half Field

7v8 (keeper)

Instructions:

Red team is trying to "score" on two small goals

The point is to play out from the back and eventually link up with the forward who will be shifting back and forth trying to find an opening in the defense

Blue team is trying to win the ball back quickly and then score on big goal

On goal kicks, always play it short and work on spacing (Red)

Blue should be focused on moving as a unit defensively and countering when winning the ball back

Red and blue will switch roles and GK can stay (unless there is more than 1 GK and they can swap out)

Coaching Points:

The CDM should drop into the CB position (initially) and the two outside backs should push up the field.

Communcation and moving as a unit is key

Succesfully playing out of the back is determined by: 1.) spacing 2.) accurate passing 3.) constant movment 4.) quick switches of play

Don't be afraid to play back to GK (the point is to keep possession)
