Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): BAFC, 5 Pus 5 V 5

Animation 1

SETUP

Large area set up into 3 sections.

3 teams of 5 players." Teams can be adjusted but must always have 4 on the outside"

Red V Blue, with the Yellow team supporting the attacking team...

The attaching team is looking to built up play through the zones. The attacking team can only score once one of the Yellow players have been involved in the build up.

When the attack breaks down the same rules apply.

The Yellow team cannot score.

The Yellow player in the middle zone cannot leave that zone.

The 4 Yellow players on the outside cannot pass to each other, they can pass and receive to the Yellow player in the middle zone

A goal can only be scored in the final third of the park.

COACHING NOTES:

The Yellows that are in the wide areas,  make sure they are matching the depth of the last defender. They can go anywhere up and down the byline.

Good movement off the ball to create space.

Passes played in front of players so pace of game is high.
