Component 2 (15 mins)

Organisation:

  • Centre of the pitch practice with both Blues and Reds in a GK-2-1-2-1 formation to replicate a GK-4-1-4-1. x2 Wall players offer width as attacking fullbacks for both teams. 
  • Play starts with either GK.

Block Timings / Dimensions:

  • 3 x 5 min blocks with 1 min in-between 
  • 30yds wide x 40 yds long

Coaching Points:

  • Movement off the ball to receive - timing/distance/angle of movement
  • Body shape when receiving - what is the next pass? Forward/sideways/backwards?
  • Passing detail - accuracy and weight of pass. Punch the ball in/set the ball/lofted pass.
  • Be patient in possession if there is not an opening - if we can't play forward, can we switch to try and create an opening?

Coaching Responsibilities:

Phase of Play (20 mins)

Organisation:

  • Phase of Play with Blues set up in a GK-2-1-4-1 (GK-4-1-4-1) and Reds set up in a GK-4-2-1 (GK-4-2-3-1).
  • Both teams attack the opposition goal.
  • Focus on Blues retaining the football via Progressive Possession to create goalscoring opportunities.
  • Reds, on winning the ball, are to counter-attack quickly.

Block Timings / Dimensions:

  • 1 x 20min block
  • Full width of pitch x 60 yds. Corners at one end wedged off due to no full backs / opposition wide players. 

Coaching Points:

  • Movement to receive the ball - timing/direction/distance of movement
  • Body shape to receive - side on to play forward / setting / switching / holding up
  • Changing the point of attack - if we cannot penetrate we may have to switch and retain the ball until we find an opening to exploit. 

Coaching Responsibilities:

  • MS: Lead the session and deliver coaching points during the practice.
