Specific Aspect - Making a cut back pass to a team mate in the attacking 3rd.

Key Principle - Effective Possession.

Session Objective: To improve the players awareness & ability to make a a cut back when in a wide position in the attacking 3rd.

Skill Intro (20 mins):

10 players (2 grids), 3 groups of 3 and goalkeeper.

Play starts at station 1 (4), passes to station 2 (9) who plays bounce pass straight back to the 4. 4 then plays a diagonal ball to station 3 (11) who runs with the ball into the shaded area. Once on this area looking for the 11 to make a pass back away from goal (cut ball) to either 4 or 9 who are running forward after completeing their passes.

** after 3 minutes, players within each group of 3 rotate roles.

** after 10 minutes, players will the change direction so they are then working down the right hand side of the pitch.

Step down: only 1 taregt to aim for with the cutback

Step up: One touch by stations 1 & 2.

Looking for players in the 7 & 11 postion to stay as wide as possible prior to receiveing the ball. Upon receipt of the ball looking want the wide player to get to the by-line as quickly as possible and we should be heading towards the target before trying to make the cut back pass.

Skill Training (25mins) (25 mins)

Core Skill - Passing / Striking

Specific Aspect - Making a cut back pass to a team mate in the attacking 3rd.

Key Principle - Effective Possession.

Session Objective: To improve the players awareness & ability to make a a cut back when in a wide position in the attacking 3rd.

Skill Training (25 mins):

10 players (2 grids)

6 v 4

6 is attacking team, objective is to get 7 or 11 to run with the ball through one of the goals. Team with 4 is defending team, objective is to score a goal.

** Change groups of 3 after 8 minutes so the defenders get a turn of attacking. **

Player Tasks:

Get the ball to 7 & 11 (or 2 & 5 overlapping) quickly, so they can run with the ball towards the by-line.

When the ball is in the shaded areas, pass the ball back away from goal to a team mate who is free in front of goal.

When the ball is in the shaded area, need atleast 2 attackers to be attacking the ball in front of goal (front post & back post positions).

Check to see where your team mates are before you try & cut the ball back.

Coaches Cues:

Can we get our attacker with the ball into the shaded area?

Prior to making a cut pass how do we know where our team mates are?

What foot should I use to cut the ball back?

If you cant get a clear run to the by line, where do we go?

Step Up's: All players on the attack team to touch it before trying to score a goal. Shot clock. Add another defender.

Hidden learning: if attack team looses the ball, need to quickly transition into a BPO position (make the field small) to try and win back possession / stop a goal being scored as quick as possible.
