Description

Organisation (Practice Layout & Transition)

Area layout linked to a 4v4 mini game. 24m x 24m.

4 x mini goals or large cones.

Bibs.

Balls.

The area size can be widened if players struggle with keeping possession. Amend accordingly for your age group and level of ability.

The games should be time limited, 2 minutes each match. Total duration - 20 minutes.

With a larger cohort than the starting 8 players required, short games will ensure inclusion and not over stressing players physically.

Non-active team players will be in a rondo continuing to stay warm, active and working on passing and control until they enter the mini game to ensure maximum ball rolling time for all players.

I have constructed a mini round robin tournament to add realism in preparation for a club festival. Therefore all teams will play each other and come up against different player strengths.

The emphasis is on switching play with the technicals focussed on passing and control.

Utilise the challenges, conditions and targets in order to increase/decrease the tempo of play.

Utilise interventions as seen fit to draw detail and coach education to both technical aspects and positional play.
