Switching play (25 mins)

SET UP:

  • Area split into two halves
  • 4v4 with 2 neutral players
  • Neutral player/receiver in each half
  • Players must make five passes before switching play to other neutral player.
  • Receiving neutral player sets ball first time for first time finish in any goal
  • Teams can score in any goal in half 
  • Coach and supporting/partner coach to have plenty of balls to enable quick restarts and maximise playing time
  • Coaching position to be mobile, enabling coach to monitor players and provide concurrent support and interventions to players

KEY POINTS:

  • Encourage players to identify right moment to switch play.
  • Make sure players maximise the extra player to stretch opponents
  • Encourage players to provide several options for neutral receiver.
  • 'Soft set' to allow switching pass
  • Multiple supporting supporting runs to give neutral/target multiple passing options

CHALLENGES AND TARGETS:

  • Remove one neutral player (equal teams, play with receiver only)
  • Add overload or underload
  • Change no. of required passes (3, 5, 10 etc)
  • Increase number of switches of play/phases before team can score.
  • Limit number of players on the switch (encourage teams to communicate and to assess who is best positioned/equipped to go into support)
INTERVENTION OPPORTUNITIES

  • Concurrent, during session, focusing on positive reinforcement and guided outcomes 
  • Terminal, at water/paly break downs
  • Walk Through. maxinmsie
