Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Transition - Wining the ball in wide areas

SET UP - Allow them to play first (20 mins)

SET UP

12x20 or to suit the ability - rondo 4v3 (give the blues plenty of practise, this can be adjusted to 5v3 to give abit more pressure or 4v2 and have the #10 outside of square finding lines of pass at all times ready for the transition to be played through the #10 as a focus player)

This session can be used anywhere on the pitch to assist with better transitions (If you have noticed during match days you need loose the ball and players dont react quick enough this could be useful aswell as getting your set up right to be able to deal with a quick counter attack in both phases ATT or DEF)

Encourage quick transition when winning the ball, be sure to focus on either ATT or DEF not both!! 

The formations in this session is,

REDS - 1-4-3-3

BLUES - 1-4-2-3-1

Challenge the reds to re organise after loosing the ball but I will be working with the blues in this session so most of my coaching points will be for the blues.

Defenders get a point if they can get the ball back in the rondo zone again

Working hard within the rondo to look to score goals on the regain

Awarness

Positive movements - on and off the ball when team in possession

Quick passes (If you want to focus on a switch of play be sure to give that as a challenge, score from a switch of play = 2pts)

1st time finish

See in the next photos with possible pictures to see within the session on the regain of possession

See triggers of movements to encourage certain passes

Forward pass into space (20 mins)

#10 intercepts the ball and passes short to the #8 (This triggers movement of the #11 to make a forward run as soon as the ball is won)

#8 passes first time into the channel that the RED #2 left

This movement should draw #4 across to stop the cross creating space in the box for a 3v2+GK ( #7,9,10 v #5 & 3)
