Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Build-up on the flank (CB & CM & FB) Zone 1-3

Initial Game

Key Factors

Red start with possesion playing out, each time the ball goes out or a goal is scored, NO corners! game restarts from that end, Players must make quick recovery runs or cover positions if required

Red must dribble the ball into the end zone and ground it to score a point

Blue can score in the goal for a point.

Conditions

1 Blue player must remain in the end zone at all times

Red must switch play before scoring in end zone( progression)

Problem 1 (PRESS)

Organisation

Same as before

Key Points:

Mobility - moving into space to allows you to receive the ball or make rome for someone else

Improvisation - be creative in your movement to drag players out of postion

Support - Provide immediate support to the player on the ball

Patience - Be patient with the process and play what is available to you

Problem 1

Yellow team adopt a high press locking on to the cb's

Solution 1

CB's need to split the the edge on the 18 yard box and drop off between the 6yard box and penalty area. RB should mvove up and RCB split to width of the pitch to create space for Midfield to drop in to recieve a pass from the gk

Progression:

- Add another player on the blue team making for a greater challenge until its a full 5v5 among players

Final Game

Organization:

- Field is 75Lx55W Yards.

- Both teams are set in a 1-3-3-2 Formation.

- Extra balls placed next to the goal.

Instructions:

- Focus on the center back movement (splitting wide to the edge of the 18 yard box to create room) for when the GK gets the ball for a goal-kick or ball is played back to them

- Looking to build out from zone 1 into zone 3 using back CB, CM, & FB
