Technical Phase

Activation/Technical


Start off with a simple tag game. 10x10 grid.  Reds are looking to get through the red cones within 5 seconds.  The blue triangle is looking to tag the red player.  After 3 minutes swap the two teams around. 1 point for every time you get through a gate.

Coaching Points

  • How fast should you approach the player
  • How can we use our balance to shift our weight to change speed
  • where do we want to force the player back to?
Progressions
  • Complete the exact same activity but now it is a 1v1 situation with a ball.
  • Make the scenario a 2v1 to challenge the player to defend an overload situaiton.

Conditioned Game

Game is set up.

Team will look to build out each situation.  There shall be an overload in each half as the neutral can move from each half to create the overload. All other players are restricted into their zone If the ball goes out of bounds play shall restart with the team Team gets 1 point every time the score.  Key emphasis is on the team who does not have the ball, high pressing in a 2v3 or 1v2 situation.  If the defenders win the ball and score they get 3 points.

Coaching Points

  • How can we use our body to impact the ball and influence where you can force play into.
  • Emphasize the reward of high pressing with encouraging quick shots if the player manages to steal the ball and score.
Progressions
  • Increase the size of the grid to challenge the players who are pressing.
  • Allow player movement in both grids but keep an offside line so the attacking team can stretch the play.
