Game Training

* PLAY STARTS WITH GOALKEEPER.

* 3 MINI GOALS POSITIONED ON HALFWAY LINE.

* GOALKEEPER ALWAYS PLAYS OUT WITH BACK 4 WHO MUST BUILD UP PLAY AND ATTEMPT TO PLAY #6 AND #8 IN FORWARD FACING POSITIONS IN ORDER TO TRY AND SCORE IN ONE OF THE THREE MINI GOALS ON THE HALFWAY LINE.

* IF BLUE TEAM WINS THE BALL THEY HAVE 10 SECONDS TO SCORE.

TEAM TASK

* TO PLAY OUT FROM THE BACK AND GET THE BALL TO OUR #6 AND #8 IN FORWARD FACING POSITIONS FOR A STRUCTURED BUILD UP THROUGH OUR MIDFIELD PLAYERS.

PLAYER TASKS

* #2 AND #5 PLAY WIDE AND ON OUTSIDE SHOULDER OF OPPOSITION #7 AND #11.

* #3 AND #4 FACE FORWARD WHEN RECEIVING, PLAYING FORWARD WITH QUICK BALL SPEED.

* #6 AND #8 MUST BE ABLE TO BE SEEN BY CREATING ANGLES AND POSITIONING THEMSELVES TO CREATE SPACE.

* CAN #6 AND # 8 DROP IN TO RECEIVE BALL FROM GOALKEEPER, #3 OR #4 TO ALLOW THEMSELVES TIME TO FACE FORWARD BY OPENING UP THEIR BODIES.

* CAN #6 AND #8 PLAY A BOUNCE BALL SO WE CAN PASS TO A PLAYER HIGHER ON THE FIELD AND RETURN A BOUNCE BALL FROM THEM, MEANING WE ARE NOW FACING FORWARD.

* #10 MUST POSITION HIMSELF BEHIND OPPOSITION #6 AND #8 OR ROTATE SO ONE OF THE THREE MIDFIELDERS IS HIGHER THAN THE OTHER TWO.

COACHES CUES

* WHEN #3 AND #4 DRIVE FORWARD WITH THE BALL #6, #8 AND #10 MUST BE SEEN BY CREATING ANGLES TO RECEIVE THE BALL.

* WHEN IT GETS CONGESTED ON ONE SIDE OR AREA THE PLAYER IN THE VICINITY OF THE BALL MUST LOOK TO QUICKLY CHANGE THE POINT OF ATTACK (MAKE THE FIELD BIG) AND OUR #6 AND #8 MUST SHIFT ACCORDINGLY.
