Specific Practice

Area half pitch with wide areas tapered off, offside line just outside area

 

5v6 Within the confines of the playing area

Red Team Shape 3-2 (No Wide Players or Forwards, 3-4-3)

Blue team managed 4-2 diamond (No Back 4, 4-4-2 Diamond)

 

Objectives

Red Team (Coached)

 

Successfully defend and win the ball back whilst being unable to drop below the blue line. Idea is to not allow Blue attacking team to player through, around or over into the space beyond blue line. If Reds win the ball they need to play into a mini goal to score a point.

 

Blue Team 

 

Objective is to play through, over or around the Reds. If successful they go to goal. One RED player can track runner in behind and defend/block shot.

 

 Block 1 4 minutes

Description GK server (yellow) plays into Blue 6. Game is now live. If ball goes out, always starts from server.

 

Conditions Blue can only play into final zone inside red cones.

Red Team 2 goals if they score in mini goal within 2 passes.

 

Technical Areas:

GK positioning, Pressure on ball holder, Communication, Distances, Defensive Body Shape, Protect Middle (if attacker goes through rather they shoot from wide angle)

 

 

Block 2 4 minutes

Description Same as Block 1 but the challenge for the Reds now increases as the blues can play in behind from deeper as we remove the red cones. They will now have bigger distances to put pressure on the ball.

Important Note Opposition 6 will have time and space and can now play over the top from deeper. Two key points: GK Higher starting position when opposition 6 is on the ball. CBs body shape when 6 is on the ball and unopposed (be ready to turn and run/get a block on striker).
