Stage 1 (15 mins)

Stage 1

5 mins - Ball manipulation with 'Beat the player move'

10 mins - Defending as a pair

The coach splits the players into two even teams

In these teams the player find a partner

The pairs will passivley defend against one opponent from the other team on the coaches command

The exercise

All players are dribbling around the area practicing the beat the player move(s)

On coach command of 'Orange, press' in pairs the orange team leave their balls and press the closest white player.

As the oprange players approach a white player the white player stands still - orange players focus on...

1st defender - fast approach, distance from the defender, the correct stance,

2nd defender - fast approach, communication, distance to cover, correct side of the 1st defender

Progression

Stage 2 (20 mins)

Stage 2

The team in possession must try to pass the ball across/through the middle zone to the orange target (9)

White team (the team being coached) send one or two (depending on level) to press the ball, one player must stay in the middle zone and attempt to block forward passing lanes.

As the ball travels across the area the closest player presses the ball (6) second closest runs to cover (7) and the third player balances off in the middle zone (8)

When white win the ball they shoot into the goal they are facing - limit them to one pass and a time limit

When the orange team pass the ball across the wide players must make runs to support the ball on the other side and continue the practice.

Progression/Variation

If the practice is too difficult reduce the defenders/increase the attacking team

Stage 3

SSG

x2 10 min games coaching one team at a time

Split the field into 3 zones to highlight which area of the field to defend.

The orange GK starts the practice each time and must play out to the back 3/4 - the white team drop off to the middle third and attempt to win the ball there. Give the white team a time limit to score from the moment they win the ball, if the time limit expires let the play continue until a natural stoppage and re-start the exercise.

Progression/Variation

Over load the team in possession to stress the defending team

Give the GK the option to play longer into midfield - if safe to do so
