Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Box n Break

Breakout the box (30 mins)

SITUATION : Evolution Parma game

Play a 5x4 inside the game area

2 forwards against 2 defenders and 1 goalkeeper outside the initial game rectangle.

Objectives for Red defenders:

For the reds inside the game area: Ensure the collective conservation of the ball and score points by finding a partner through a door.

For the reds and the goalkeeper: Protect their goal, oppose the progress, In case of recovery, find a partner in the game rectangle.

Objectives for the Blues Attackers:

Catch the ball collectively and then try to score a goal in the cage (defensive-offensive transition + possibly new offensive-defensive transition if the ball is recovered by the Red defenders)

Evolution:

Play on the numerical reports inside the game rectangle then, during the transition, on the number of players projecting forward to finish the action (example: 2 Blues accompany the action so 4 x 2 then go from the easiest to the most complicated)

Example:

Only 1 player accompanies the attackers, so 3x2

Allow one or two Reds to come back to defend to restore numerical equality)

Coaching points:

Make pedagogical remarks on the need to get to the goal quickly, in order to keep the time ahead in a favorable digital situation and thus prevent the defenders from returning.
