Start Position & Movement (20 mins)

Defence (Blue) Vs Attack (Reds)

4-2 4-4

Coaching Blue team to Defend from the Front

* Play starts with GK (plays out to one of the defenders)

* Reds have to dribble the ball through one of the three gates to score

* If blues win possession try to score in big goal as normal

COACHING POINTS

* Start position of 9 & 10 (drop to encourage GK to play out, but not to deep so you can still get into position quickly to press)

* First Striker to split defenders to stop them playing back across goal and press defender with ball (angle of run)

* Second Striker drops between the lines to help prevent ball being played into midfield (position)

* Make play predictable

Which players are the biggest threat in relation to the balls position?

Which players are a lesser threat in relation to the balls position?

Even though the Blues are Underloaded can they cut Red players out so Blues become the Overloaded team?
