Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): 3/5 JV

4v1 w/tranitions

Practice Organisation:

• 20 players.
• 5 yd rondos.
• 10 yds spacing between grids.
• All the rondos start with 4v1.
• The idea is to introduce the attack to defence quick transition mentality.
• For players who miss the ball they will have to move away from the rondo they are playing in and go to defend in another one.
• Work as fast as possible.
• Rondos played on 1 touch.

• Push the players to move away fast when losing the ball.
• Find another rondo fast to get inside and start defending.
• Players who are in possession check their backs when a defender is coming.

Build up w/Positional play

We will play with an attacking team in a 4-4 structure, with two centre backs, two full backs, twomidfielders and two wingers. The defending team are with 5 players in a 2-3 structure; two midfieldersand three forwards. The aim of the attackers will be to finish in one of the two mini created in zone 3,which they must drive through with the ball under control. For the defenders, if they manage to win theball back, they must score in th  goal in zone 1. In addition, when the attacking team manages toreach zone 3, the coach can activate an attacking transition for the defenders, sending a ball to one ofthem so that they can attack with the opponent disorganised.

Concepts:

Midfielders Line: Establishing diagonalpositions to the other lines

Adapt a body position to perceive as much informationas possible.

Scoring: 

- Attackers: scoring a goal is worth 1 point. 

- Defenders: if they score a goal in less than 3 passes thepoint is worth double. The goal must always be from zone1.
