Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): COUNTER ATTACK #1

PREVENTING THE COUNTER ATTACK

COUNTERATTACK: PREVENTING THE COUNTER ATTACK

On on side. One team of two attacks the other team of three defends. Attacking team attempts to play their teammates on the other side. They then go 3v2 to goal.

If the defending team of three win the ball, they score on either goal

Once score, drop and defend the halfway line, preventing the counterattack

Progression:

Attacking team of tow can dribble across the half line making it a 4v2 to goal

Coaching points

Immediate transition

Block channels to play through

Face ball when drop

Communicate

Get wide in attack

WITH GOALKEEPERS

COUNTER ATTACK 7v6(+1) or needed to four goals (with goalkeepers

Session Organization:2 teams of 7, play 7v6 + target or needed

When the 6 win the ball play target, 7 try to win ball back. When play target, target must play teammate in neutral zone the the team advances forward and changes grids, trying to score in small goals.  

Offside is called.

Coaching Points:

• Organized defending be patient get behind the ball.
• Moment the ball is won, can you play forward?
•  If you can't who can you play to that can play forward?
• Quality of the 1st pass
• Technique - dribbling, passing, receiving

Progression - Gk's are in Neutral Zone to cut out pass and stop 1v1 dribbling

 Add GK's. Gk's are in the neutral zone and try to win the ball back. If they do they play with the opponent from who they won the ball (Non countering team keeps possession) Allows for dribbling now in the neutral zone (1v1 w GK/s)
