warm up Rondo (small to large) (10 mins)

How it works:

  • Yellow get a point for 5 passes in a row without interception
  • If blue win the ball in the small area, they have to get it to their team on the outside
  • Blue aiming to connect 5 passes in a row for a point -outside players stay roughly where they are.
Looking for:
  • Ball pace 
  • 1st touch receive into 2 o'clock position
  • Defending on the "covershadow" and using two hands as much as possible

React to Turnover (15 mins)

How it works:

  • 4 v 1 in the middle if the 4 get 3 passes in a row in the box they can attack
  • If the 1 wins the ball in from the 4, they can attack with the rest of their team outside the box
  • If the ball goes off the sideline or baseline, the coach feeds the ball (not a sideline) to encourage a reaction to turnover
  • If they score, a new ball is fed to the middle area and the game is reset with opposite teams.
  • Players can shoot from anywhere
Looking for: 
  • Getting close to the player on the ball at all times as a defender
  • Finding passes to forehands in the circle (eyes up, ball on stick)
  • Defending with good body position (agile, able to move quickly but staying low and defending with 2 hands)

Defending - Cover & Delay and Jump Back (15 mins)

SET UP

  • Two attackers (blue/white).
  • Three defenders (orange).
  • Defender at top D plays the ball to the attackers on one side of the pitch.
  • As soon as that ball is played, the two defenders behind the attackers come into play.
  • 2 v 3.
  • Attackers - score in the goal.
  • Defenders - win possession and pass the ball to the resting players on the other side.
  • Rotate play to start on either side.
  • The defender at top D plays two rounds and then rests, switching with the defender waiting behind the baseline.
  • Swap defending positions after several rounds. Then swap attackers and defenders.
COACHING POINTS:
  • Attacking focus - Make a quick break to take advantage of 2 v 1.
  • Defending focus - Cover and delay if you are faced with a 2 v 1.
  • Defending focus - Jump back to support your lone defender!
