Set Up
Create a field size 35x50 metre in size and divide into 3 areas as shown in the diagram.
How to Play (set the scene for the session)
Set up in a 4-3-1 formation with GK's at either end acting as target/neutral players.
GK starts play by distributing ball to Centre back, all players must touch the ball (in any order) before playing to the opposite GK. Once the ball has been played to opposite GK, start again from your own GK.
Both teams will go at the same time with players staying in their own third of field.
Progression
- Full backs allowed to over lap into the middle zone
- Midfielder can move into attacking zone

Set Up
Create a field 45x60 metres in size with a full size goal at one end and two small goals at the other.
Team being coached (blue) play GK, 4 defenders, 3 centre midfielders, neutral player as striker and use gates as your wide players.
Opposition play with a striker, 2 wingers, 3 midfielders and neutral player as defender.
Neutral player plays for team in possession.
How to Play
Starting point - a shot played from the red to the goalkeeper to start play.
Normal football rules apply except no corners.
Blue team - aim is to play from the GK and score by passing/dribbling through the gates or playing to the neutral player/coach.
White team - aim to win the ball and score as quickly as possible.
Notes -
Use a Goal as #9 if not enough players - Ball has to enter the goal on the full in order for points to count.
Player Tasks
GK - Can you play from the centre of your box and pass to the
player in the biggest space and then support and act as a
sweeper?
#5 & 4 - Can you split and then play forward if it's on?
- If you have the space can you dribble forward?
#2 & 3 - Can you get into a position as high and wide as possible?
- When in posession can you pass or drive inside or outside quickly?
#6, 8 & 10 - Can one come short and two go long?
- Can you receive facing forwards, if not can you bounce
the ball out the other side?
- If a CB #3 or #4 passes to the other CB can you show rotation clockwise or anti- clockwise?
#9 - Can you play as high as possible?
- Can you be in a position to receive ball side of the pitch?

|
Technical Receiving priorities, pass weight, body shape, timing of movement |
|
Tactical Can players understand the shape required to play out, do they naturally adopt the principles that the session will lead into? |
|
Physical Movement off the ball, speed in and out of possession, shielding the ball, |
|
Psychological Can players stay calm under pressure from the opposition, can they make understand the pitcure and make decisions quickly. |
|
Social Talking, helping each other out with clear instructions or just positive support if success is low initially. |
Setup as shown and ask both teams to play a 2-3-1 formation. Orange team scores by dribbling into one of the two shaded areas, pink team scores by scoring in the goal.
3rds on the pitch are not to lock players in but aid positioning and help coaching key points as the session progresses. Put plenty of balls in the goal, if the ball goes out of play or the oranges score, the GK restarts play. Once all balls are used, switch the outfield players around.
Challenge players, particularly the goalie to play short and through the thirds if possible. If the pink team push forwards heavily can the orange identify this and play in behind them?

Technical Receiving priorities, pass weight, body shape, timing of movement |
|
Tactical Can players see the overall picture and do they understand the roles each player has. Can they see how this relates into the whole game? |
|
Physical Less demanding as there will be a stop-start element to this phase. Running when out of possession more, less touches hopefully |
|
Psychological Balance bwteen attentive and fed up, quick success needed here to ensure players keep focus and learn |
|
Social Bring players into the session with guiding questioning and good demonstrations. |
As previous screen, but now players are locked into their thirds.
GK can only play short into the defensive third, the defenders must then attempt to combine with the midfield to play forwards to the striker.
CP:
- Receive on the half turn.
- Play quickly, use minimal touches.
- Peel away from opposition to find space.
- Don't be afraid to play backwards if needed, use the GK.
Progressions:
- Move one of the pink midfielders to be an orange striker to allow for more success.
- Team in possession can move into the next third, but must recover once their team loses posession.
- Players from each third can move into the next third as play builds to create more realistic pressure.

Play a normal game, put in a half way line for offside and put one of the pink players as a goalkeeper.
Can players use what they've leant and play out from the back where possible. If the opposition come forwards, capitalise on the space behind and go long.
