Extra coaching points

- DLM drops to receive the ball from the server as it would be a CB

- FB's stay outside the marked area to show support

- One FB would come into the area to be an extra player ONLY if the ball is on the other side of the area.

- Once the FB rolls inside the furthest midfielder goes into the middle, so the diamond shape is kept but there is a extra player in the middle to receive and pass

- Blues are only to press passively and will become live 7 minutes into the drill

- Blues score in 6 seconds at the same time reds have to try and win the ball back in 6 seconds

Small-sided Game (9v9) (15 mins)

Organisation

Pitch size - box-to-box, full width

Full size goals at each end

Goalkeepers in each goals

Reds(focused team) 1-3-4-1

Blues 1-2-4-1-1

2 large cones as a marker for the FB to go to when the keeper has the ball (trigger)

Challenges/Targets/Conditions

Both teams look to score at the opposition goals.

Blues play direct and have 8 seconds to score when in possession

Coaching Point

- AM drops deep into a central role to support the overload.

- Wingers are inverted to support the DLM and AM in the central areas.

- Fullbacks go high to become support in the wide areas.

Key Technical/Tactical Points

- Movement to create space

- Movement to recieve the ball

- Communication

- Quality of pass

- Body position to recieve

- Angle to recieve

- Width and depth

Coaching Process

Extra coaching points

- Trigger for everyone to get into position is when the keeper has the ball

- CB drops and creates an angle left or right to receive the ball from the keeper

- DLM will also drop to the edge to the 6yrd box halfway between the 18yrd box and the middle 3rd and go to the other side of the CB to be an extra option for the keeper

- FB's go no further than the marked-out cones on the touch line (high and wide)

- One of the MF would drop into the vacant space left by the DLM to be another option.

- As the DLM drops, the 10 drops on the edge of the centre circle in line with the penalty spot

- Positive touch - Back foot (FB)

- Mini tangent in wide areas (WMF and FB)

- DLM will remain in their position during the attack and the remaining midfield 3 and FB's can roam

- FB's can ONLY role inside if a player from midfield has gone in their area.

Progression:

- 3rd man runner: MF plays the ball to the ST who is pinning the furthest CB, who then lays the ball back to the 10 who can either shoot or play the in the wide MF who runs in behind the ball sided CB to have a shot on goal

Pedagogy

11 vs 11

Patterns

P1: Ball into the WMF plays a 1-2 pass with the FB and can either score or assist the 10

P2: If the ball is on one side the furthest FB can roll inside and the furtherst MF goes central or near the 10 position. This can only happen if the 10 goes wide.

P3: As the ball is being played from the DLM, the 10 drops and the WMF goes into the 10 position and plays a 1-2 pass with FB

P4: If P3 is not an option the 10 can drive ONLY if there's a gap between the blues midfield.

P5: If options from the wide area is locked off, FB looks to switch the ball to the other FB, as that happens the 9 goes to the near post, 10 goes either central or far post and the furthest MF goes central or near post. FB rolls inside and acts a MF

Organisation

Red team (Focused team) = 4-4-2

Blue team = 4-4-1-1
