Positional Play Box (20 mins)

Positional Play with Emphasis on OB/OW

14 Players: 6v6 + 2 Wide Neutral Players

Grid: 35 x 25 Yards

Diamond Midfield Cues:

Defenders move the ball around the back. At some point, when the #2/3 receives the ball, the #4 will come and support the player, they can take one touch inside grid to 'cue' the runs but then has pass.

As that happens:

Strong side #7/11 comes inside (Sweet Spot) to create overload in Center midfield.

Strong Side #2/3 overlaps to give us that width and depth in behind

Weak Side #2/3 Tucks in to give balance

Strong Side #6/8 comes underneath to give angle of support

Weakside #6/8 goes a little higher

#10 drifts weakside to open up space for strong side #7/11

Scoring:

1 pt once you play into opposition #2/3. Opposite team does same thing, when they get it.

Options: add 1 point if they switch to weakside #11 at some point before playing to Opposite #2/3. (#11 can't score directly, why? forces immediate support underneath.

Optional: Add a #9 OR Opposition #4 acts as #9 who only has 1 touch.

Can add 1 touch finish now to small goals.

If too easy: pass has to be played 1 touch.

Positional Play to Goal (20 mins)

Positional Play 8 v 5/6 + 3v2 to Big Goal= 18-20 Players

Numbered team is limited to 2 touches until one player dribbles across the edge of yellow box. 7 & 11 act as positional players until a player dribbles across yellow line then it's a 3v2 live game.

Scoring:

#'d team: 1 pt - 10 passes = 1 pt and/or ball in behind

Defending Team: 5 passes = 1 pt and/or stop ball on the line.

Conditions: limit to 1 or 2 touches for perimeter players.

Progression:

- 11 or 7 can come inside grid and go on the half turn foward. If so, AM on that side needs to overlap and go forward as the #11/7 drive inside into space.

- Can add 9 to mix, and now 4 or 5 need to initiate play with a forward dribble to activate movement off the ball.

Coaching Points:

11 & 7 need to bend their run outward to stretch opposition. while 10 or 6 drive inside.

Attack space and commit players.

Decision making of when to make runs and when show for support.

1v1 Shooting w/ pressure (20 mins)

Shooting w/ Pressure Progression:

1) Set-up: Have cones roughly 10 yards apart as shown in diagram. Line closest to goal starts with the ball. Once player is done shooting they become chaser on opposite end.

A passes to B and receives ball back. A receives hips open and takes touch toward goal to get a shot off. Player B is pressuring from behind to prevent a shot from happening. Player B goes to Player A' line. Player A goes to back of line of opposite side.

2) Set-up: Same as 1 but now Player A passes ball to player B and defends a 1v1. Emphasis can be on either. Since we have talked about how to defend and attack individually you can make coaching points as you see fit.
