Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): USW C Cert - Possession

Overloads (10mins) (10 mins)

Organisation

Blue will start with the ball and look to play as many passes as possible.

Yellow will send 2 defenders into the attacking half and they will then try to win the ball back, once the ball is won back the reds will then do the same on their half with the blue becoming the defenders and aiming to win the ball back.

The teams should try to swap the defenders each time as well as encouraging their teams to move into space.

Defenders should have one player pressing and one player trying to decide on the next movement of the ball. That defender should then press the next pass and the other defender will sit back and wait while trying to if possible intercept the ball.

Defender should look at their body positions, whether they want to encourage the opposition to play the ball inside or whether they want the opposition to play the ball down the lines/ channels.
