30 second battle, 1v1 shielding

Turning with Pressure Game:

6x6 Yard box. 12 yards between edge of the box and cones.

Player 2 checks inside box, player 3 defends player 2.

Player 3 is passive until player 2 receives the ball. (Want player 2 to feel comfortable with pressure) Player two then has to dribble to three cones before passing it to player 4. If they successfully complete that, they get one point

Rotation: Passer goes to back of the line. Attacker goes to passer. Defender becomes attacker. Person who receives pass then becomes Defender.

Progression: Live as soon as 2 checks to the ball.

Back to Goal (25 mins)

Back to Goal Game: 2v2, 3v2, 3v3, 4v3

Organization: Sequence starts with four players running into the field, two attackers (Blue)

closely marked by two defenders (Black), and Coach serves a ball to the attackers as they run

towards him. The two attackers try to control and turn and attack the goal with the

Keeper. The two defenders try to win the ball and pass it to the Coach. When play ends,

players return to the back of the line and the next four players run in. Rotate roles after

the Blue had a few turns.

Objectives: Players learn to show for the ball, receive under pressure and combine to

turn and beat defenders. Player without the ball needs to read pressure on the ball. If

partner has back to goal and under pressure, supporting player needs to drop. If partner

has turned and is facing goal, supporting player needs to decide which combination play

is on (wall pass, crossover, or over lap). Players learn deception in receiving pass from

Coach with back to goal, to facilitate turning. Players learn how to escape pressure.

Players learn not to turn into pressure, when to shield the ball and find partner and when

pressure is loose enough that turning is possible.

Variation: A third attacker is added. The third attacker cannot cross the half-way line or

score and is used as a safe drop pass option by the two attackers, allowing them to turn

and get into better positions. This variation could be used to prepare for a progression to

3v3, with a third defender joining in.

Coaching Points: What's your response if you lose the ball? Can you win the ball from defender? If it's not on play your support and keep possession!!!!

Attacking in Offensive Half (25 mins)

Small Sided Game

Attacking in Offensive Half.

Start off with 9 v 5 + GK; Progress to adding 2-3 more defenders.If Defending team wins they player the 4/5.

Player 4 and 5 cannot venture too far up and operate around the dotted line (representing the middle third) and are mainly servers to be used to switch the point of attack and feed players. When the defending team wins the ball they counter by playing to players 4 or 5. start play by playing into any Coaching Points: Focus on team shape, spreading out to make field big, peeling off, receiving the ball in a sideways/half turned posture, being aware of team mates’ positions, interchanging positions to achieve penetration, overlapping wide players, bending runs, diagonal balls from the back line to blind side midfielders, and combination play.

Progress the activity by adding one more opponent who will close down the center backs when they get the ball. The added opponent can be placed around the dotted line in front of the central defenders as a starting point and he becomes activated when player 4 or 5 plays their first pass.
