Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Progression of pattern of play including defenders

Play 1

Ball starts with CB, CB's first touch is the trigger for 11 to move inside (11 should start wide and movement is inside)

The pass into the number 11 is the trigger for the number 3 to begin an overlap and attack the space left.... 11 is to set the ball to number 10 who play the ball in behind into the space for the number 3 to run on to

9 & 11 to attack the ball, number 10 is to go on the edge for a potential cut back.

9 to attack front post and number 11 to spin and attack centre of the goal, as in a game the opposite winger would be attacking the far post

Key points

Trigger movements

What side of the player should the ball be passed to?

Where are we looking for the ball to be played?

What are the movements of the ST's and wingers in the box

Inc.. defenders

Include defenders -

RB needs to follow the winger inside to allow the overlap to happen, but then can he get back in after the pass? Other 3 defenders to defend as normal - defending the front, middle and far post of the goal.

If they clear the ball they have to squeeze and run to the white line as quickly as possible, getting the defence used to this movement to take into match days (This is not happening at the moment)
