Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Build Up Play - 6,8 Dropping in between back 3 - FJ pass and support positions

Description

As we build up from our goalkeeper, our 6,8 will drop in between the CB and FB to create an overload centrally .

Evan will take a positive first touch to dribble and advance the ball to invite pressure that will free up our 6 to receive straight away or else pass to 8 for a bounce pass to play to the free 6

When the 6,8 is free they will receive with an open body shape with a positive first touch forward to look to advance the play and distribute the ball with short and long passing options available.

2 will move up with the play to provide width and support for when 7 receives a pass
3 will tuck up and inside close to 8/6 to provide balance , support and counter measure
4 will keep a defensive position close to 6 when in possession as above
7 will drop to receive and turn if open , if not will then make a run in behind
11 will provide an outlet and option on opposite side for 6 when in possession

FJ will provide support  after first pass when 4 is in possession if pressed quickly and also wider when 6 is in possession facing his own goal to the side of the goal and will push centrally when 6 is going to play forward
