Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): General practice - creating overloads in rondo's transitioning into SSG's (Start Time: 2024-07-11 19:00:00)

Rondo's (15 mins)

• 2 pitches split into 2x 12x12 yard squares.
• 13 players (3v3 in one pitch, 3v3+1 neutral player in the other pitch who will play on the team in possession)
• 1 ball per pitch

• Create space to receive the pass
  
• Create use of the overload

• Play will start with a 3v1 rondo inside the square.  If the 3 complete 6 passes without the defender touching it, their teammate can come in to create a 3v2.
• When possession is won back, they must switch it over to the other square where now they will create a 3v1 against the other team
• We will be working in 5x3 minute blocks with teams switching around after each block

• Players must be on their toes to receive the pass
• As the area size is small, movement to create space is crucial
• 1 or 2 touch if possible to keep the ball moving quickly

SSG (30 mins)

Organisation

• Length of the pitch the width of a full size pitch
• Width of the pitch is the 18 yard box to the half way line
• 6v6 +1 neutral player who will be on the team in possession

Session aims

• Make use of the neutral player by creating an overload to create goalscoring opportunities
