Pressing Warm Up

Pressing to Disrupt

Players are split into three teams.  Each team numbers themselves 1-4.  On the coaches number, the player that is called must immediately run to press in the box.  The first two teams that manage to win the ball or force the team in possession to turn the ball over get 1 point.  Play for 4 minutes before starting to add in progressions.

Coaching Points

  • Players that are pressing - are you fully committing to your press? 
  • Show me how you should be approaching your press? Body shape, speed of approach?
  • If you cant win it straight away, what kind of passes should you look to force the team in possession to play?
Progressions
  • The first team to win the ball gets 2 points and second place gets 1 point play for 3 minutes.
  • Final progression only the first team to successfully press/disrupt gets 1 point.

Pressing in the Attacking third

Pressing in the Attacking 3rd

Blue team starts in a build out situation.  On the first pass the red player looks to press to win/disrupt the play.  If the red player is able to steal they can transition to the small goal, the blue team is lookin to successfully break the press and score in the mini goal.  Play 3 minutes then switch the two defenders each time.

Coaching Points

  • Show me how you are approaching the player on the ball
  • Do you want to force the play to the middle or make the scenario a 1v1?
  • How close do you want to get to the player on the ball? How can you impact the play.
Progressions
  • Make the game a 3v2 situation and reduce the play to 2 minutes before swapping.

Disrupt the play

Disrupt the Play

Team in possession look to break out in a 4v2 situation and score in the mini goals.  The defenders look to disrupt the play and if possible score in the big goal.  The team that possess the ball get 2 points for every goal they score, but if they lose possession of the ball (kick it out of bounds, turn over due to disruption) they are deducted 1 point.

Coaching Points

  • Show me how you are approaching the player on the ball
  • Do you want to force the play to the middle or make the scenario a 1v1?
  • Team mate that is close to the player pressing - what decision do you need to make to increase our chances of causing a turnover?

Progressions
  • If the attacking team is not having enough success introduce another attacker higher up
  • If the blue team kicks the ball out a player that is resting can take the Throw in from where it happened (there is no minus point anymore but they get a chance of a 3v3 situation).

End Game

End Game

Teams play 4v4 with the half way representing the build out line.  Ensure that each team press high as possible when the other team is building out.  3 minute games then swap out the teams. Players on the outside have 2 touch to make it harder for the team pressing.

Coaching Points

  • Can you apply your press/disrupt to the game scenario
  • How can you be more successful with all your team mates on the field?
  • As a group what do you want to deny the team on the ball?
Progressions
  • Targets have 1 touch
  • If no success with press remove the targets.
