Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 3 box 3 session and animations

10v6 formation working (30 mins)

Players: 14-20 players. example uses 16.

3 box 3 principles (back 3, 2 6's, 2 10's and wide players (wingers/wing backs)

Grid Sizes:

- bottom box 20 metres by 20 metres

- middle zones minimum 10metres in depth

- top box 20 x 20 metres 

- wide zones 10 metres wide and 20 long 

Description and rules: 

-Reds look to transfer the ball from one end to the other by breaking lines and finding the end player

- Reds make 3 passes and then can transfer forward, after 3 passes a 6 can drop in or a pressing player can jump, the challenge is now to find the free man and link to play forward to the target man

- Once the ball progresses to the target man, the 2 10's drop in and act as Cb's, 6's move up a line to continue the 6 role and CB's drop into the next line to work as 10's. this gets them to understand the role of other players.

- wing backs locked in a wide channel. they can only receive with a pass inside the lines as show, this stops players playing the easy wide pass and getting trapped

- progression - 1o can drop into wing back/winger  wide  space and wide player moves up, then if space appears inside they can also move in and rotate.

- centre back can play direct to striker but only below the knee

Coaching points:

- maximising the space.centre backs deep and use width (only width of the box as to create passing lanes)

- 6's stay more narrow than the 10's unless clearly rotating to create space

play 6 to bounce out

- receive on the half turn and play forward

- up back through

- all players on different passing lanes 

- when deeper 6 receives it's a Y using the deeper 6, higher six, and 2 10's

- starting shape - central pentagon (6's, 10,s 9)

- if blues win it they score in any mini goal but must be in the area to score there. if no mini goals just dribble into that space and take a touch for a goal.

- rotate players so they understand all roles.
