Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Possession/Overloads & Isolations

Rondo Warm Up 5v2

Set Up: as shown size depending on ability - smaaller if technically able. 3v1 in both half of boxes with a runner.

Progression: different runners with movement of other players to accomodate the run.

Rond Combinations (part 2)

Rondos/Combinations - 3 teams of equal numbers.

Illistration shows Yellow Players - Defenders / Blue Players - Neutral-Support Players / Red Players - Attackers

Red stay in thier box, Blue can enter any box, Red decide to stay or enter other boxes.

Objective: maintain possession in the boxes via the use of creating overload and isolation situations. There will be one team with their players locked into boxes. Then the supporting teams players who are neutral players can go and move into other boxes to create bigger overloads and isolations. The other team (defending) must try and win the ball back. The team that becomes the defensive players will be the team that gives the ball away. For example if the Neutral players give the ball away then they will be the ones to switch with the defensive players and not the Attackers.

Neutral players can go and join in other boxes. This leaves the defender in the box where the neutral player has just vacated with a decision to either go in and make the overload smaller but leave his man isolated with loads of space or leave the overload area smaller and try and prevent passing lanes into the man he is following. The defender can only go in and help out if a Neutral player from his box goes however.
