Screen 1

Play 2v2 in the area.

Aim for each team is to score in the mini goals = 1 goal

Do it by playing into the neutral (black) player who bounces it back to the other player = 2 goals

As soon as a goal is scored the players leave the pitch and 4 new players sprint on and receive a new ball to play

High intensity - 30 secs to score?

Organisation: 

Shaded area is the 'receiving area' - only the red '9' is allowed in this area but he can't wait in there.

Once the ball is transferred to the other target player, players must move quickly to mirror the practice in the other half of the pitch.

Aim:

Move the ball from end player to end player = 1 goal.

Do it through the 9 getting ball in the receiving area and setting back for a winger to be played in = 5 goals.

Coaching points:

For the 9: use of double movements, going behind the eye line of the defender before moving, leave the receiving area if you go in and the ball doesn't come.

Wingers - time runs

Speed of transition.

Screen 3

Play always starts in line with the poles with the blue centre back switching to the other blue centre back (rotate)

Blues aim to progress the ball and score - scoring from an up, back and through = double goals.

Reds aim to win the ball back and score within a 10 second time limit.

Coaching points:

On the switch of play between the CB's, deepest midfielder drops onto a diagonal and the higher midfielder on the ball side makes a blindside run. The other midfielder holds their position. 

This should create space for the centre back to play directly into the feet of the 9 who drops in (using the coaching points from screen 2)

As this pass is made the other midfielder can look to run off their marker, giving the 9 two options to bounce the ball into if he can't turn.

Wingers need to hold their width until the 9 turns or sets the ball before making an out to in run to receive the ball played between the centre back and full back.
