Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): FUWSC Classroom Session

#1,4,5,2,3 (30 mins)

#1 - 

• Be aware of our zones and what our shape is
• Stay high connected to the backline to avoid them playing long balls into the space
• COMMANDING IN OUR SHAPE

• The backline connected vertically with the midfield line 
• This will allow the 2/3 step to the 7/11 if they play in to the 8 and out
• Dont let the 2/3 play forward, just force negative. BE PATIENT
• Dont cheat wide, travel as a group
• If the group has not shifted with you, HOLD, and then go. If we are together shift as the ball travels.

• Restraint line slighlty above the D
• Keep backline connected horizontally the width of the 18 operating in zone 2,3,4
• Communication with the #6. Stay connected vertically to the 6/8/10/7/11 so there is no pockets of space to play into. 
• Keep a 2v1 on the #9

#7,11,9 (30 mins)

#9

• Do not press the #4/5
• Your mark is the #6, dont folow her behind the LOC
• If she goes high, pass off to the #10
• Force them to play negative or into your #10 who is free
• Trigger to step is bad touch, head up, head down as they will look to hit long ball
• Stay connected vertically with your #10 and horizontally with your #7 and #11 make sure they are tucked in to the 1/2 space

• Stay tucked inside to the #10/#9
• Dont cheat wide or they will be able to play to the #7/11 in the pockets of space skipping the 2/3
• Once they hit the line we want to force inside to our #10 who is free OR if they lay the 2/3 on the pass over the LOC we push them back inside, if they dribble stay with them and disrupt play.
• DONT GO ROGUE DEFENSIVLEY. LESS IS MORE IN THIS APPROACH.
• Double down with the #2/3 if they play the higher winger and force to play a ball into the box.
• Read cues head up, head down means long ball.
