Football Problem -

When we lose the ball in the opposition half, we struggle to regain possession quickly.

Session Objectives -

What -

Transition to defend by pressing the ball.

Where -

In the oppositions defensive third

Who -

Our #9,7,11,10,8,6.

When -

As soon as we lose the ball.

Why -

So we can counter attack.

Set Up

Create a playing area of 35x20 metres.

How to Play

Play always begins with a switch across the 20 metre line. Ball is played in to middle players who play a 1-2 and play out of the opposite side.

Positional Game (20 mins)

Set Up

Create a field as shown in diagram above.

How to Play

Reds and blacks play possession but are only allowed in their own area. Score by passing through the middle area to other attacking team.

Blue (defending) can commit as many or as few players into the area where the ball is with the aim of winning and scoring in one of the two mini goals. At the same time they need to prevent ball being played through to the other attacking team.

Team must play at least two passes when in possession before playing through middle.

Team who lose ball become defenders. First team to 10 pts wins.

Points:

When attacking

1 pt for a successful pass through the middle to other team

1 pt for 6 passes in a row

When defending

1 pt for intercepting and completing 1 pass

1 pt for intercepting and scoring

2 pts for intercepting, making at least 1 pass and scoring
