Football/Soccer Session (Advanced): Week 9: COUNTER (Fitness Overload)

2 Zone Counter Game (20 mins)

3 groups of 4

- All restarts with server playing into one of the 3 attackers (3v1 in first zone, 4v2 in second zone)

- 8 seconds to score

- Defenders are restricted to their respective zones (until they win the ball). On the regain (3v4), they look to break the server's line with a pass to resting teammate by server or on the dribble. ** Allows for attacking team to "Counter the Counter"

- Attackers look to exploit overloads and score on the large goal.

- Rotate after each ball (attackers - defenders - rest).

- Play for 2 mins - highest score wins (loser's owe something - push-ups, etc)

6v6 Conditioning Game (Overload Fitness) (30 mins)

6v6: Field: 55x33 Four 4.5-minute games with 2 mins rest between games

**Uninterupted Play: Coach within the run of play only. No stoppages. Keep balls available for restarts.

- Attack in a 2-1-2

- Defend in a 2-2-1

*** Assign one team to create a defensive block starting at the half line, and look to win it and counter. The other looks to break down the block to score and prevent counter.

*** Switch roles each game.

NOTE: Inactive players should be doing fitness specific to game demands on the side. Make sure to switch players in and out between each game and not during.

*** Make sure to lead team through a proper cool down to end training.
