Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Passing into attacking third

Screen 1 (40 mins)

8v8 in middle field, goal is to find passes into the attacking 3rd (Zone 3 for red, Zone 1 for Blue). One defender can build out of own defensive area, no pressure from opponent in that area(if build up is safe enough defensive player can be moved up to Zone 2 even in build up). As soon as posession changes defender needs to step into central area and defend in zone 2.

Red line is offside line, players cant move in before the ball is played. After pass is played everyone can move in, defense can move in defensive 3rd after pass is played and defend.

Coaching Points:

keep posession until good pass opens up

timing of runs and passes

movement across the defensive line

transition

quality and purposful passes
