Description

Session set up: 9v9 (Working with Blue team)

- Blue team are looking to regain the ball high the pitch using a high press and setting traps in wide positions. The ball will always start with the GK and the Reds are encouraged to play out from the back.

- Looking for the reds to gain good possession from the GK and the blue staying patient and disciplined waiting for triggers to go and press but also limiting gaps in-between.

Screen 1 (10 mins)

Method:

I will be working with the blue team in regards to a high press in a 1-2-1-4-1 out of possession (Ensuring that the DM is always protecting the back two) Upon Regain this will then become a 1-2-3-3 (Wingers providing width), the ball will always start from red teams GK and I want them to try and play out every time, and try to penetrate the blue centrally and in-between the lines. The red will be playing a 1-4-3-1 (With FB's)

Coaching Points:

- Quick decision making when playing out and through the thirds, ensure that you don't force the ball.

- Striker force the ball in one direction and set a trap with the winger on their side (RCB & RW)

- Closest man always goes to press

- Blues making sure that they're nice and compact and limit the reds playing through the lines

- Must be done at match tempo and game realistic.

Screen 2 (20 mins)

Method: Learning and doing stage

- Ball moves and everyone shifts across from the blue team to limit the space for the reds to play in. Ensuring that all gaps are closed and that they have cut off half of the pitch. Therefore their press must force them in 1 direction. Can the pressing player force the ball to go long so that our 2 defenders can compete for the ball and hopefully retain possession or Even better could the pressing player force them wide and towards the FB so that we can set a trap and win the ball back high up the pitch. When the ball is played into midfielders feet can the closest player go and press and force the ball and force them backwards, ensuring that the Striker is able to back tackle and retain possession of the ball.

Coaching Points:

- Nearest Player goes and aggressively presses the ball forcing him in one direction

- If striker goes to press then the Highest midfielder is picking up their deep line midfielder

- Blues deepest midfielder is screening the pass into the strikers feet

- Force Red team to play backwards, sideways or long

- Press in numbers

- Upon regain can you retain possession of the ball and penetrate gaps that have been left by the attacking team.
