GRP: 3v1 into 5v3 Possession 01 (10 mins)

3v1 into 5v3 possession

• Starts with 3 defenders v 1 attacker rondo in small square

• 4 attackers outside small square, inside large square

• once attacker gets ball they play out to team-mates

• attackers keep possession

• defenders work to get ball back into small square where drill goes back to start conditions

Progression

• can attackers play through small grid (penetrative pass)

SSG Decreasing touches through the thirds (15 mins)

• Pitch divided into thirds

• 4v4 minimum

• Standard game but with condition on limited touches

• Unlimited touches in the defensive third

Talking points

• Encourage fast combination play (one-two, spin off and release, lay off and through ball)

• Off the ball movement to create space

• Space = time = quality

• Importance of first touch

Limited touches should encourage combination play and allowing the ball to run from through balls
