Learning Objectives

	Technical Range of passing, first touch to escape pressure.
	Tactical Playing wide.
	Physical anaerobic and aerobic
	Social Supporting team mates

Play Phase (15 mins)

Wide Channel Game.

Both teams look to score in the central goals (directional game). Before they can score / take a shot on goal the ball must enter one of the two wide channels on the pitch.

Coaching Points

Emphasize creating space off of the ball, attacking the space out wide when we have a good scenario i.e. 1v1, 2v1,
If we are crowded in possession what should we think of doing?
When we get out wide, show me on the ball how we can be positive and how our team mates can create space or support runs.

Progressions

Player that kicked the ball now needs to chase so there is an overload.

Crossing and Finishing Patterns

Player 2 starts the practice by passing the ball into player #6 who opens up to play wide into player #11.

Player 11 then drive down the line before providing a cross for the #9, #10 and #7 to attack and finish.

Players follow their pass to the next position 2 - 6 - 11 - 10 - 9 - 7 - 2.

Switch the start point to the opposite side to get service and crosses from both sides of the pitch.

Learning Objectives

	Technical Passing, Dribbling, Crossing, Finishing
	Tactical Attacking wide areas, understanding the supporting movement and getting on the end of crosses
	Physical Anaerobic endurance and strength.
	Social Communication with team mates

Skill Phase - 3v2 Wave / 4v3 Wave (20 mins)

Skill Phase

The Red player next to the goal starts the game by dribbling out into a 3v2 situation. Both wide players provide support to the central player and look to make attacking runs off the ball to receive it and score. The Attacking team should look to create a goal scoring opportunity quickly with the overload. If the blues win the ball they look to counter attack to the opposite end. Each team gets 1 point if they are successful. Once the attack is over start a new attack from the opposite side and the other 2 blue defenders must defend their goal in a 3v2.

Coaching Points

Be positive and drive towards the goal when possible.
Be creative with attacking runs to pull defenders into bad areas and create space for others.
How can the player who passed the ball create good supporting options for their team mates.
How can we speed up our attack?

Progressions:

4v 3 - Add another Defender for the Blue team and a Striker for the Red team.

Progressions:

N players can leave their channels to attack weak side crosses or if someone else enters the wide channel on their team.

Coaching Points:

As the ball goes out wide, show me how we can support the player on the ball
When it is out wide and their is no ability to keep going forward can we combine out of it or do we have to restart.
