Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creation Phase: Unbalance opponent to get into Att 1/3 : 4-4-2 Box Midfield 11.6.19

5v3 Positional Play (20 mins)

5v3+1 Positional Play to Goal. Right and Left Side.

Set-up: 20 x 25 Yard Grid

9 Players: 5 vs. 3 (7/11, 10, 6) + 1 (4/5)

4 Blocks of 3 minutes. (Losing team has fitness)

Objective: 5 Players are looking to connect 8 passes for 1 pt or get into final zone by dribbling across the line. This will create a 2v1 in last zone to score in big goal for 1 pt. The #11/7 works as an unopposed target to connect the game and can be defended once ball crosses into final zone.

5 attacking players can get tagged if they touch it more than once. Once in the final zone, tagging is no longer in effect.

Scoring:

- Red teams scores by winning it and connecting 3 passes, dribbling across one of the two red lines, or 3 tags.

- # team scores by connecting 8 passes or scoring on big goal but must meet the conditions stated above.

Progression/Blocks:

Block 1: Understand the rules, conditions & Shape.

- Offensive Shape of 6,10 & 7/11 (never on the same line, always giving angles to each other)

Block 2: Movement off the ball & body positioning. Are you getting tagged? Why?

- Understanding of movement from #6,10 & 3 based off 4/5. (If the 5 stays wide, what should the 6, 10, and/or 2/3 do?)

- 3rd/4th man runs (what is the hardest pass to defend?)

Block 3: Progression added for 7/11 to come inside to initiate movements of surrounding players to get in behind.

- Movement off the ball of attacking players. Movement of dribbler once they have space and time. Where should they go and why? What should happen once the 7/11 comes inside turns and goes towards goal?

Block 4: Same as Block 3.

- Movement off the ball of attacking players. Movement of dribbler once they have space and time. Where should they go and why?

Coaching Points: Overload the strong side to create numerical superiorty.

Offensive Shape.

3rd/4th man runs.

Movement off the ball and movement of dribbler.

Specific: Movement of 4/5 triggers movement of 6/10 & 2/3.

If the #5/4 has space to dribble into space on the inside that triggers movement of 6 to go wide and push the 2/3 higher and a little more central. If the 4/5 dribbles into space from a wider area then #6 gives them an angle inside.

Positional Play to Goal (25 mins)

8 v 5/6 + 4v3 to Big Goal= 18-20 Players

Set-up: 50 x 65 Yard Grid.

8 v 6 + 2 v 3 to Big Goal. 2-3 attackers can join final zone for a 4-5 v 3. Must score within 6 seconds of crossing the final yellow line.

4 blocks of 5 minutes w/ 2 min rest. (Losing team fitness)

Objective: Numbered team is looking to create goal scoring opportunity by breaking the yellow line or completing 8 passes. They can get tagged after 1st touch until one. 7 & 11 act as positional players until a player dribbles across yellow line then it's a 4-5v3 live game. Defenders in the final zone with 7/11 can only defend once ball crosses that first yellow line. Offensive players must shoot within 6 seconds of crossing that line.

Scoring:

#'d team: 1 pt = 8 passes or scoring on big goal = 2 points.

Red Team: 1 pt = 5 passes, score on counter goals, or 3 tags.

Progression/Blocks:

Block 1: Understand the rules, conditions & Shape.

- Offensive Shape of 6,10 & 7/11 (never on the same line, always giving angles to each other)

Block 2: Movement of 6,10, 2/3 based off 4/5 area of field.

- Understanding of movement from #6,10 & 3 based off 4/5. (If the 5 stays wide, what should the 6, 10, and/or 2/3 do?)

- 3rd/4th man runs (what is the hardest pass to defend?)

Block 3: Progression added for 7/11 to come inside to initiate movements of surrounding players to get in behind.

- Movement off the ball of attacking players. Movement of dribbler once they have space and time. Where should they go and why? What should happen once the 7/11 comes inside turns and goes towards goal?

Block 4: Same as Block 3.

- Movement off the ball of attacking players. Movement of dribbler once they have space and time. Where should they go and why?

Optional condition: (If offensive players aren't creating enough separation) add can be tagged after 1st touch. 3 tags = 1 pt for red team.

Coaching Points: Overload the strong side to create numerical superiorty.

Offensive Shape.

3rd/4th man runs.

Movement off the ball and movement of dribbler.

Specific: Movement of 4/5 triggers movement of 6/10 & 2/3.

If the #5/4 has space to dribble into space on the inside that triggers movement of 6 to go wide and push the 2/3 higher and a little more central. If the 4/5 dribbles into space from a wider area then #6 gives them an angle inside.
