SSG - Shoot/Possess (15 mins)

Structure:  18 yards by 36 yards. 2 GKs, Two teams of eight compete but each team has different objectives. The white team plays possession and is able to use their teammates that are positioned on the side lines of the area. They would need to combine a total of 6 passes to score. The red team attempts to score on either goal while using their teammates who are positioned on each end line.

Zones: 3 and 4

Training load: moderate to high - 4 sets of 4 min 1 min res WRR 4:1

Strategy:  The white players must work hard to get the ball away from the red team. Red team must move into shooting positions quickly once the ball is won. The White team keeps the ball as long as possible

Key Factors:

Angles of support. Being proactive to find space and allow player in possession to play them. 



Tactics:

1) Perimeter players need to be active and demand the ball. They need to create space by supporting on the flank.

2) When the ball is played to the perimeter players, players in the middle need to advance into areas of space to create goal scoring opportunities. 

3) Possession needs to be played quickly around net to create chances to score.
