Always restart from starting positions

Exploiting Width in a Counter attack (15 mins)

5 v 5 Creating & Exploiting Width in a Counter attack - 15 mins (split the groups)

Objective: Exploit the counter attack in a dynamic conditioned game

  • Play starts with a coach playing into White's - who try to move the ball forwards inside the central area (not allowed in the wide zones)
  • Blues - win the ball back and have 15 seconds to score
  • If the blues score by playing centrally then its worth 5 goals - so whites need to tuck in once they lose possession - get compact off the ball
  • Once blues win the ball the wide areas become open - encouraging the blues to spread the play/pitch

Change the roles of each team after 7 mins

Coaching Points:
  • Emphasis on movement / reaction of wide players when we win the ball
  • Create depth and width
  • Use the space to create angles / passing lines into the space that we can exploit
  • Quick decision making

5 v 5 Creating & Exploiting Width in a Counter attack - 15 mins (split the groups)

Objective: Exploit an overload in wide areas in a dynamic conditioned game

  • Play starts with a coach playing in - team try to move the ball forwards and score
  • The team in possession is allowed 2 players in the wide area
  • Defending team can only have 1 player in the wide area
  • Encouraging a 2v1 in the wide area
  • Ball must be moved at pace.
Coaching Points:
  • Emphasis on movement / reaction of wide players when in possession
  • Create depth and width
  • Create space for others with movement, can you drag your opponent away from the ball?
  • Quick decision making
  • Use a switch of play

Reward extra goals for a switch of play or if a team successfully scores from using a 2v1 in a wide area
