Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): PCFC U13s Session 17 30th Nov 2016 (Start Time: 2016-11-30 19:00:00)

Small Sided Game - Decision Making & Positional Awareness (10 mins)

Small Sided Game

Each player carries a cone (different colours for each team)

As soon as a player receives the ball he must drop his cone, and leave it when in possession

However if the opposition win the ball, to make a tackle a player must pick up his cone again

CPs

Player awareness

Can they play quickly to catch opposition out of shape (no cones)?

Can they anticipate an oposition attack and be in shape (holding cones)?

Side by Side Rondo's - Progression (15 mins)

Side by Side Rondo - How to Press and Influence Play

Progression

Purple possession in Box 1, Orange possession in Box 2

One ball only, start with purple possession

As soon as Orange intercept the ball, play moves to Orange possession in Box 2

2 purples now move into Box 2 to work as defenders

CPs

Working with defending pair, look for pressing as a unit, not chasing the ball as individuals

Remain compact as a unit

Try to make their play predicatable

Try to make them play where you want them to play

Pressing from the Front - Movement Patterns (15 mins)

Pressing From the Front - Movement Patterns from Pressing Team

Set GK / Defence up and ask them to play out from the back (RB or LB to receive)

Show pressing team how to press more effectively as a unit, trying to influence the way the defenders play. Win possession and try to score.

a) CF bends his run to press RB - this prevents a square pass across pen area, and forces ball up line

b) LM presses RM wide - this prevents a ball up line, and forces RM to play inside

c) CAM looks to intercept as defenders play inside
