Session Overview

Option 1: 4 or 5 combine with most immediate passing lane (6, 3 or 2)

Option 1a: If 4 or 5 have space, they can break lines with a dribble forward.

Option 2: 4/5 breaks press with a direct pass to 9. (Look Far). Here, #9 matches the path of the ball when it leave the GK.

Option 3 (What it): If 3 or 6 (after second action action) are under pressure, a pass back to center back. Center back can restart Option 1 or 2.

Objective is to break the middle third as quickly as possible with intention.

Introduction (15 mins)

Organization:

20x11 yard grid (x2).
Two lines on each end of each grid. 2 players waiting at the center.
Pattern play with movement and technical repetition.
15 minutes (3-minute intervals, 1-minute break).

Instructions:

Follow pattern with player passing from end to center. Center to opposite end and movements/follow throughs.
After players pass from the end/top, they follow up to the center. After players pass from the middle of the grid they go back to the line where they passed from (see arrows).

Coaching Points/Questions:

Understanding complexity of pattern (patience, take your time).
Player in the center receiving with the hips open and at diagonal angle. If receive with the back foot (we call it front foot in RBNY), assess option to pass with opposite foot or depending on quality of first touch, use the same foot.
Players at center MUST receive in angled position. Emphasize this angled receiving position since it is essential when playing out of the back!
Quality of pass: firm, crisp and on the ground.
Communication and constant awareness. Scanning.
"Catch and Play" - that is receive and play quickly.

Progressions:

Add 1-2 progression and quick-play from pass 1.
