Specific Practice (30 mins)

Mode

Specific Practice In Possession

Welsh Way Principles

Understand when and how to combine, create and finish

Organization/Area Size

50 x 60m with 3 zones (wide zones 15 x 25, middle zone 30 x 25) 

8 v 5 with GK. GK for the Reds to act as a server

Work in blocks of 5 x 4 mins with 2 min break

How

Coach the Reds to create and finish in the Final third. They must use the width of the pitch to stretch the opposition, FB to over/underlap, create overloads wide and through the middle. Manage the Blues to protect the middle, force play wide, defend the box, if the win possession they must get the ball to the half way line.

Explanation

Red server always starts by playing the ball into the middle zone where they have a 4 v 3 overload. The Reds try to attack the goal by taking risks playing clever passes through, using the overloads available in the middle and in the wide zones. They must make movements off the ball, the wide players must over/underlap. The Blues when in possession try to dribble to the half way line.

Team can 'Score' by

The Reds by scoring goals in the large goal. Blues by intercepting play and dribbling to the half way line

Conditions, Challenges & Targets

Start the practice with 3 Blues in the middle zone to give the Reds overloads so making it easier to enter the box for scoring opportunities. Only allow 1 Blue into the wide areas but allow the Red FB's to enter to create overloads for more crossing opportunities. The Reds must finish with one touch.
