Postioning Game 1

Organisation

14 players but can be more.

2 defenders against the 1 attacker

3v3 in the middle 

2v1 in the attack.

Explanation

Whole process is to play through the lines to create a scoring opportunity.

e.g can we play from the defense into the midfield into the striker.

Progressions

1 player can then go into the area passed in to create an overload in that area.

eg if passed from defensive 3rd to midfield 3rd one defender can go into the area to create a 4v3.

the same can happen from midfield 3rd to attacking 3rd.

 

 

Coaching Points

When the ball is with the Gk make sure you set up the team with the ball with plenty of width and depth, so they have a starting structure. 

Good rotations with the middle 3 

If the ball comes in one direction can the ball transition to the other side.

Go back to your passing Practice from before.

Coaching Points

Cab players notice pressure, and none pressure for example when to take a touch and when to play first time.

Can players start to get a picture in there head before they receive the ball.
