The Unit

The unit being focused her is a 1-4-3-3 / 1-4-1-2-3, in the 9v9 the formation will be zoomed into a 9v9 format. The players being lost are the 4 & 5 CB’s as we are looking to push into the opposition half and create overloads from midfield onwards. (* All over the field but for this session the focus is in the middle and final third.)

GK Has to be vocal and a leader for his team, looking for important information to be passed on to teammates on the picture he can see. Distribution skills will be important as it is likely that he can start some overloads through clever distribution or showing for support on his own.

This player will be very important driving into the opposition with the ball, the focus will be in the interior and exterior channels of the field to provide underlapping and overlapping runs. This player can also be expected to step into midfield when necessary to create an overload if a centre midfielder moves into a wide channel.
