Description

Session Aim

Looking to get greater clarity within the following three outcomes from the session:


1. When to play the switch of play pulled opponent across

2. How we can set the switch up i.e. we really want the pass forward to set backas this not only draws across but also "pins" the opposition arond the ball Most important outcome for the session

3. Type of delivery. That this needs to be flater and get to the WB quicker, not looped

SSG (20 mins)

Aim

- Functional practice have players within relevant positions


Process

- teams of 5 plus the wide players (WBs)

- Players not working are with Andrea doing S&C block

- Players need to play a minimum number of passes (5) then deliver a switch of play to the opposition wide player

- 2 Attackers then join the attack for the cross plus the opposite wingback

- 2 Defenders can drop

- If the cross is defended then defending team work the ball back into the central area (frst pass in is free)


Coaching Points

Working with the wingbacks and their delivery

- Strikers attacking movement. In particualr getting front post run and cut back option and positioning along with the recognition of the non ballside WB to attack the back post area

- Working with the defenders who drop to defend the cross

- Specficailly the reaction to drop and the positioning when they do. In particular do they defend the near post area

- Reaction of the attackers to prevent the ball being cleared

- Pass detail /construction to set up the ability to switch


Pitch Sizing

- 2/3 of pitch


Timing

3 x 6 min games


Progression

- Expect that the defending team block the crosses and avoid defending centrally therefore allow an up back and through centrally to allow for a goal. Give extra goals for a cross rather than this


S & C 

- Andrea you would have the extra team who are not playing within this phase if numbers dont allow this to happen then we will do the S&C aspect at the end of the session

- Area to work within would be approx the pen box and width of the field
