Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): U15 MLS L.build up vs 433 press

Orientation: 5v4

Activity Objective: Progress forward through/around the pressure and score on the mini goal.
# players/opponent: 5v4

Organization: 2 organizations set up from 20(W) x 30 (L) with 1 mini goal in each. 

Active recovery duration: Physical load: 6x3:00min - 1:00min rest. Total Activity duration: 23:00min. 

Instructions: 

- White receives the ball and is trying to combine to score on the mini goal. 

- Black press in set up structure and is trying to regain the ball and progress inside the 18y box to score on the big goal (white can only defend inside the grid, cannot track back). 

- Play is being alternated between 2 organizations (1 organization is working, the other is resting). 

Coaching points:

1) #4 taking the FT so he can make a quick 2nd decision (upon recognition of the pressure). 

2) Opposite movement of the 6's (when in numerical advantage) -> when being pressed man on man, bring the pressure inside. 

3) #7+#10 recognize space to check into based on pressure. -> when being man marked, take the pressure away to create more space for 6's to combine in the 2v1. 

4) Always creating length, width and depth in the play. 

5) Technical: body shape open to progress when in numerical superiority.
