Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): defending the box (session 1)

warm up (20 mins)

screen 1- warm up static and dynamic stretches and possesion. 

4v4v4= 4v4 in the middle and 4 bounce pass players- 10 minutes in possession ans 10 minutes static and dynamic stretches in the corner of the pitch in the coned off area.

appossed (45 mins)

progression:

in this stage because my players are really competitive and compete at a good level i will be add a progression too defending the box and making it apposed the blues will pass the ball around to move the defenders round and to begin the attack 

when reds have had success with defending he box they will then start to make their attacking transition and put their opponent on the back foot, they will have 3 goals to attack 2 are smaller and one full goal with a goalkeeper.

i want the red team to keep it really tight when they are winning the ball and keeping their shape. also when the reds win the ball back i want the defence to push up and defending the box is when the ball is dead away from the box.

blocks/timing:

i want players to be working in a block of 5 minutes and i will get them in and show them on a tactics board and what i want them to improve and work on in the next block. i will be giving them coaching points during each block.

cooldown:

small,slow intensity and static stretches.
