3 Team Possession (20 mins)

Purpose 


Attack - Opening up, making use of spaces, and breaking the lines

Defend - Work together in organizing a press

Transitions - Quick reaction in loss or gain of possession


Set-Up - 3 teams, as evenly divided as possible. With odd numbers one team will have extra players. Field size can be as large as a half or as tight as you want. The tighter you make it, the more quick the decisions.


Activity


  • 2 teams work together to keep the ball. 1 team works to steal the ball
  • When the defending team successfully takes possession, the team that lost the ball becomes the defenders.

Work:Rest Ratio - 3 minutes on / 1 minute off x 5 rounds

Outnumbered Defending (30 mins)

Purpose

Attack - Using extra man to create finishing opportunities (not the main focus of this activity)

Defend - Implementing outnumbered principles of play (delay, stay compact, protect the middle)


Set-Up - Use whatever spacing you feel is appropriate to practice the different scenarios. The tighter the space, the easier for the defenders.


Activity

  • Play any outnumbered scenario (2v1, 3v2, 4v3, 4v2, etc.). Most effective if you cap at 5v4.
  • If defenders recover the ball they can score in either mini-net
  • After resolution (ball out, or in a net) the next group goes.

Work Rate - Continuous, with pauses for coaching intervention

Small Sided Game (20 mins)

Purpose

Defensively & Offensively - Reinforce principles of the topic session

Both - Work rate on every transition (loss or gain of possession)


Set-Up 

  • Two teams evenly divided. If uneven then the extra player will always work with offense. Defense works with keeper.
  • Use the whole field, or part of, the field available. This depends on the amount of space available.
  • Set-up Mini-Nets as shown (Bonus question - what do these mini-nets represent?)

Activity - Standard game where teams look to score as many points as possible. Ball always starts with offense. Coach will reinforce the topic objectives with the teams.


Work Ratio - Continuous, with teams swapping roles halfway through.
