SSG / Defending the Final third
Mode: SSG (Minimum 15 mins)
Welsh Way Principles
Understand when and how to minimise space, deal with crosses / shots & protect the space centrally in the defensive third
Organisation / Area Size
70m x 50m with tapers (this may vary due to age/ability of the players and the physical demands requirePlay 9v9 including 2 GKsPlay 3x4 minute periods with 2x 1 minute minute breaks.
Explanation:
The reds are in a GK-4-2-1-1 (Missing their wide players in a GK-4-2-3-1)
The blues are now in a GK-1-3-3-1 (Missing a CM and CB in a GK-4-3-3)
The blue team in possession have to penetrate central / wide before they score. This will give the coach the opportunity to carry on
refining the defensive principles with the reds. If the red team win the ball they must expand and utilise the width of the practice while counter attacking under a managed countdown by the coach and looking to break the lines of the blue team
How :
The coach will continue to work only with ONE team which is the reds
and make sure they carry on defending the final third out of
possession. If they gain possession they are looking to counter attack
by breaking lines (under a managed countdown) and finish by beating
the GK in the mobile goal. The blues will look to penetrate the final
third to score. Encourage here the blue full backs to join in and crete
2v1s against the red full backs. This will give the coach the opportunity to provide solutions around this 10-15 Defend tighter, narrow, deeper / Blues try to score centrally (double goals)
15-20 Defend the source, get pressure on earlier, defend the 2v1 (double goals if they score from wide 20-25 Defend whatever the opposition do (blues can do what they like)
Continue to monitor things here as the coach and intervene should the reds not adhere to the information previously covered in the specific elements
Teams can 'score' by:
Blues:
1. Scoring normally / centrally past the GK is one goal. 2. Scoring from a cross / wide play is two goals
3. The red team scoring via a counter attack is a goal Challenges, Conditions & Targets
We now move to full width in the defending half but inside the red tapered coned area with the same challenges, conditions and targets carrying through. The coach will work with the red team to provide the solutions to the players utilising differing interventions and coaching styles. Keep working the opposition full backs in yellow here to give you the problems. Manage them to support form behind and create 2v1s in different block of time and then finish with the last five minutes of them combining these problems for you. Your own players should then deal with whatever problem is thrown at them. As the coach you can still refine this and coach if there is any lack of understanding on timings/roles etc

Welsh Way Principles
Understand when and how to minimise space, deal with crosses / shots & protect space centrally in the defensive thirdOrganisation / Area Size
60m x 50m
Play 8v7 GK on the red team with 8 in a GK-4-2-1
Play 1CM, 2 full backs, #10 / #9 and two wide players on the
opposition blue team
Play 4x3 minute periods with 2 min break
ExplanationThe opposition in possession have to try to get into the final third after getting the ball from the server. This will give the coach the opportunity to work on the defensive principles of defending the final third. The red team here are illustrated as occupying two out of three zones we will use to educate the players on what we want. If the red team win the ball they must then counter attack by breaking lines under a managed countdown by the coach before scoring to small side goals
Teams can 'score' by:
Block 1. The blue team get a goal scoring from wide / two goals scoring from central, reds get a goal for scoring by getting the ball into the shaded zone
Block 2. The blue team will get two goals by scoring from a cross / wide play and one goal from normal / central play.
The reds on gaining the ball will get a goal if they score from a counter attack and break lines
How
The coach is to work with ONE team only, out of possession, in this
case the reds on how they defend the final third. When the reds have
possession they wont be coached but will look to break lines on the
counter attack. The coach will manage the opposition to attack the
final third and ensure realism for both teams for the duration of the session
1-4 Defend tighter, deeper, more narrow
Block 1: Manage the blues to attack centrally through #9 and #10 is double goals Score from a cross is a goal. Reds get a goal for getting the ball and score for small side goals 4-8 Defend the ball / higher, get pressure on earlier, defend the 2v1 wide
Block 2: Manage the blues to create the 2v1 wide against your full backs. Coach the solutions with the reds
Challenges, Conditions & Targets
The conditions are full width and up to the small goals. The target for the blues is to score in the fixed goal from central or wide. For the red team it's the small goals. The red team out of possession will also fill two out of the three zones when defending leaving the furthest player/s. The reds are also challenged with scoring from a counter attack by breaking lines.
The two full backs on the blue they MUST be on two touch or two seconds in possession. This gives you the problem as the coach that you want but keeps things realistic also. They're key to the problems you want to give yourself as the coach. Initially manage them to support from behind (minute 1-4) then encourage them to give you the problems of a 2v1 against your full back either side (minute 5-12)
