Running Through The Ball

Prepping to Press.

Players in possession play around the grid either clockwise or anti clockwise.  Players on the ball must take 2 touch one touch to control and the other to pass.  Do a sequence of this.  Now the key to this exercise is when the ball is played to the player directly opposite you, you must immediately press.  The player who has just pressed joins the end of the line they have just pressed.  Play continues with the passing sequence.  Players pressing are not actively trying to win the ball yet, just to get into the motion of when to press and anticipating play.

Coaching Points

  • This exercise is difficult so have the players start slowly.
  • Encourage players to press on the flight of the ball, so allow them to make mistakes but let them know if they are too late it will jam the exercise
  • Remember we are wanting to run through the ball so this is a high intensity pressing exercise.
Progressions
  • Have play go in the opposite direction
  • Finally have the player on the ball either to pass left or right to make the person reading the play very challenging.

6v3 Pressing

6v3 game.

Team in possession is looking to make 10 passes for 1 point.  The team of 3 is looking to press to disrupt play and win the ball, if they are successful they look to score in any of the four goals for 2 points.  Teams play for 3 minutes, and then the new 3 defenders come in.  After 6 minutes rotate the roles of the two teams.  Look to play 2 sets in total so players have 2 full opportunities of pressing.

Progressions

  • Impose 2 touch for the team in possession so defenders can be more aggressive with their pressure
  • add a technical station for the 3 players 'recovering' so they are technically working whilst resting.
Coaching Points
  • Emphasize aggressive pressure from the players on the ball
  • Highlight key moments when to press = flat pass, bouncing ball, bad touch, moment to fully win.

Intense Pressing

8v4 Pressing.

Teams are split into 3.  One team shall press for 4 minutes vs 8.  If they win the ball they look to score in any of the 4 goals.  The two teams of 4 (Reds and blues) if they make 10 consecutive passes, the presses team loses a point.  Play starts from the outside so this drill is player orientated.  After 4 minutes rotate the teams so each one gets an opportunity to press.  Play 2 sets in total and keep overall points.

Progressions

  • Add the team in possession must score a goal after 10 passes

Coaching Points

  • Emphasize aggressive pressure from the players on the ball
  • Highlight key moments when to press = flat pass, bouncing ball, bad touch, moment to fully win.

Conditioned Game

4v4 conditioned game.

Players play a 4v4 game with targets who have 2 touch.  The game is simple if you score you get to stay on.  However as soon as there is a goal, there is a transition moment, the team that conceded gets off, The new team gets a ball from the goal that was just scored on and must attack from there, encourage the team that scored to high press to count 3 seconds so they can not build or have success.

Progressions

  • remove the 3 second count
  • Targets now only have 1 touch.
Coaching Points
  • We want the players to activly press, encourage this intensity
  • Keep track of overal wins to encourage the competitiveness and intensity with pressure.
  • High light the negatives of weak pressing if is displayed i.e leaving space in behind and not impacting the ball.
