Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): 6 Ball Aerobic Transitioning Game (Start Time: 2017-12-19 16:25:00)

6 Ball Aerobic (15 mins)

Organisation: 40x30yds (6v6/7v7) 14min (2x6min / 2min Rest) Balls placed at each station.

Field size can be increased to increase the training intensity.

Position a ball at each corner and half way position. Additional ball will be used to start play.

INSTRUCTIONS:

Two teams compete and attempt to score in small goals - defend 1 goal, attack the other goal.

When a team scores they go immediately back to the half way line and collect another ball to attack with. The nearest player to the goals from the defending team then has to get the ball out of the net and replace the new ball taken by the attacking team, by dribbling.

The team who score can begin attacking again whilst the original ball is being retreived and attack the same goal with a new ball.

If the attacking team shoots and misses rotation occurs by the defending team taking the ball from where the ball went out and attack the opposite goal.

Progression / Restrictions:

Team in possession - 2 touch. When recovering the ball or tackling allow 3 touches.

Increase the playing area to increase the intensity.

Players from either side must not enter 4x3yrd free zone.

Variations:

A neutral player can be added to support the team in possession.

Large goals and GK's can be used in the same drill (larger playing area)

Key Points:

Counter Attacking players act quickly to exploit defence when reduced in numbers.

Defending options when numbers down / delay play (Recover quickly behind the ball)

Attacking team commit players forward and attempt to exploit the opposition with numbers down. Develop Aerobic Fitness (High Intensity)
