Skill Training (20 mins)

Set Up:

  • Players: 12
  • Grid size: 20m x 10m

Explanation:

  • 5v5+2 possession game.
  • Two touches only.
  • The objective of the game is to move the ball from the Yellow (Target) on the outside to the other Yellow (Target) on the other side, and vice versa.
  • When attacking, players should be encouraged to be on the outside, with the Defenders in the middle.
  • When the ball is won, this should change, Defenders going to the outside and the Attackers now Defenders on the inside. 
  • This helps the players understand the challenge of creating space for themselves when attacking, and condensing the field when defending.

Progression:

  • Increase/decrease grid size.

Key Coaching Points:

  • Can you maintain possession and invite pressure to open up channels
  • Can you ensure your body position is correct
  • Can you maintain width + depth
  • Can you move off the ball to receive a pass
  • Can you look to play forward and break lines
  • Can you play backwards and maintain possession if you can't go forward
