Description

Main Moment: Ball Possession (BP)

Key Principle: Combinations - Wing Play

Session Objective:

In this session I aim to improve the players ability to move the ball quickly into the wide areas to stretch the opposition and to be more effective at playing passes into the attacking players.

By Focusing on: Player Tasks (General / Position-Specific)

- Can the players receive the ball facing in the direction they intend to play.

- The #7 & #11 to hold wide positions and stretch the opposition as much as possible.

- The #2 & #5 to offer support if forward progress is blocked and to provide an overlap opportunity.

- #9 & #10 to find space between the defenders and present for a pass

Accelerated Run following Warm Up: 8x40m @ 80% rest.

Key Player Actions required to achieve tasks and objective:

Positioning / Movement off the Ball

Body shape / Angle to the ball

Create space

Core Skills

1v1, Striking the Ball, 1st Touch

Communication

Coach teammates, Identify space, call for passes

Combination Passing (10 mins)

Explanation

Set up two stations mid way up a half pitch. Use cones or mannequins.

Set up cones on the edge of the centre circle and just outside the 6 yard box.

Divide remaining players evenly on each side.

#1 plays pass out to station #2 and commences overlapping run outside station #2.

Player checks inside from station, moves inside and plays pass to overlapping player.

Overlapping player plays pass into waiting player #3 who performs the same move with player at station #4.

Progression

Players on stations #2 & #4 must now try and receive / take 1st touch facing forward before dragging ball inside to play the pass. This is to enforce game habits of improving options of whether to play ball straight into overlapping player or to drag the ball inside.

Gradually increase Intensity by:

- Sprinting between stations

Perception (Seeing/Hearing)

- Where is the next ball coming from?

Decision (Recognition/Anticipation/Options/Choices):

- Where is the next passing option?

Execution (Timing/Speed/Quality/Clarity):

- Body shape / position

- Ball speed

After players on stations #2 & #4 drag the ball inside they will now play the ball directly into the next player on stations #1 & #3 (effectively a striker) who will bounce the ball back into the overlapping player.

Players on stations #1 & #3 begin dribbling the ball towards the mannequin. As they approach one of the players at #2 & #4 check inside. Outside player now plays a pass inside and continues run around the mannequin. Inside player takes 1st touch (facing forwards) and passes the ball back out to the player making the overlapping run.
