Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creation in 4-4-2 Box Midfield with Technical Shooting 11.5.19

Positional Play Half Vertical Side (20 mins)

Positional Play: 5 v 4 Game to goal

4, 6, 10, 7/11, & 2/3 vs. 3 central players and 1 defender

# team gets 1 point if they connect 10 passes

Progression:

1) 5v3 possession + transition game - if the 3 win it they can dribble out for 1 pt.

2) 5v3+1 to Goal now. Once a player breaks a line centrally then it's a live 2v1 game. Black defender can only leave white 18 line once player has dribbled accross yellow line.

3) Play is initiated when 4/5 takes a touch forward

Player actions:

- Mobility of 6, 10 & 2 off each other. If 4 is more central than 6 can pull wide, 2 can move higher and/or more inside

- if 4 takes a touch wider than 6 needs to give more of an angle

- once line is broken, 7 & 11 need to work on that bending run down the line.

1v1 Shooting w/ pressure (20 mins)

Shooting w/ Pressure Progression:

1) Set-up: Have cones roughly 10 yards apart as shown in diagram. Line closest to goal starts with the ball. Once player is done shooting they become chaser on opposite end.

A passes to B and receives ball back. A receives hips open and takes touch toward goal to get a shot off. Player B is pressuring from behind to prevent a shot from happening. Player B goes to Player A' line. Player A goes to back of line of opposite side.

2) Set-up: Same as 1 but now Player A passes ball to player B and defends a 1v1. Emphasis can be on either. Since we have talked about how to defend and attack individually you can make coaching points as you see fit.
