Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): UEFA A Individual 6 20 mins

Build Up (20 mins)

Build Up 

Individualised (Working on CDM)

Individualised: Concentrate on CDM receiving to play forward / how to get on ball in high press

Set up:

Both teams set up: GK-2-1-2-1 the CDM  can play in middle section and defending section..

Play starts from GK, who plays into CB look to find spare player and move through thirds

Pitch

Blocks:

3 blocks of 4 mins work x2 mins rest (Physical output)

1 Minute walk through (Allow players to see session)

1 minute questions or free play

Intervention style: Con currently and terminal

Block 1: Normal game (players stay in their own area) focus on build up through thirds. CDM can you receive ball from GK or CB and bounce the ball to other free CB. Then either receive the ball back or go and support the other midfield players. 

Block 2: Work on CDM to get on ball and turn to play forward or carry it forward into next section.

Block 3: Work on CDM getting on the ball under pressure the red team can now come in and press the CDM. 

Progression Block 2/3 another red attacker can come into put extra pressure on defensive players.

Conditions:

Passes through each area:  (Build up/ spare player)

Would prefer to play through CDM in defending third to play into middle section  (Individualised) if he is marked and not available can play forward and see if the CDM can get the next pass 

Opposition put pressure on the ball and when you win it back can you score within 10 seconds.

Key Aims/ Points:

Can we play forward and find spare player?

Can we play build up through CDM?

When in possession be patient and move/ switch the play

Can we make the pitch wide and play on outside shoulders?

How does the CDM react when the ball is lost?

Individualised CDM:

Movement and triggers how to get on the ball

See 3 corners of the pitch

Can you break line and play forward?
