Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Kiltullagh GU13 Tuesday 6th February

4 V 2 + 1 to 4 v 2 + 1 (20 mins)

Method:8 x 16 m or 26 x 52 ft

Coaching Points:

• Box of 4 vs 2 + 1 extra attacker using 2 touches.
• The objective of the game is to keep possession of the ball for as long as possible.
• The players in the middle defend in 1 box and try to intercept or recover the ball as quickly as possible.
• When the players with the ball play in the second box the defenders change to that box quickly.
• When the ball is played to another box the attacking players on the longer sides move to the other box quickly.
• The players cannot play the ball to the other box until they have completed at least 5 consecutive passes in the box they are in.
• The player who loses the ball automatically becomes a defender, changing places with the player who has been defending for the most time.
