Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Regain and Retain U13/U14 OPDL Girls

Double Rondo - Ball Retention (15 mins)

Ball Retention (20 Minutes)

Organization:

20 x 20 per area.

Explanation: 

-The team in possession will be in the same area meanwhile the defending team will press with 3 players and will have 3 players in their own area waiting for the ball. 

-The team in possession will have to keep the possession as muchas they can to avoid the defending team get the ball. 

-If the defending team get the ball, they will try to pass it into their own area. 

-Once the ball is in their own area, they will travel there and the opponent will have to go with 3 players to press. 

-It’s so important the capacity of the coach to feed the game constantly. 

What do we look for?:

-This task aims to look for the change of mentality. 

-If the team in possession lose the ball, we allow them to get it back and keep the possession once time.

-The organisation is the key to get it back straight away. 

-If the defending team get the ball we gonna look for the "security pass". When we need this into the game? If we recover the ball into the middle we will need to open it up to clear the game. E.g: midfielder plays into wide areas to reorganise the game. 

Rules: 

-We can play in 2 touches, 3 touches..( it depends of the ball )

-If they get the objective too easy, after 4 passes one more player can come into the area to press too. 

-We can count the number of passes.
