Description

Designed to cover a variety of passing and receiving scenarios. Initially focussed on technique of passing and receiving and building on that with technical detail to create space for this. Tempo is key right from the start in order to keep the practice as realistic as possible. 

Implements these areas in to a challenge and more pressurised situation and then phase of play to give an all round picture of when this can be implemented and how pitch location may affect decisions.

Basic Pass and movement (10 mins)

Start by working in vertical channels. Ball is passed through to opposite player who controls before repeating the same movement back. Each player follows their pass and joins the side that they passed towards.

Progress to use both feet. If receiving on left then play with the right and vice versa.

FOCUS ON

  • Receiving surface.
  • Body position to receive.
  • Quality of pass.
  • Communication.

Phase of Play (30 mins)

8v8 Phase of play with defending team attempting to play out from the back and get the ball over the half way line to the end zone. The attacking team will look at the incision phase of the game and attempt to break in to the opposition half space and target areas to score with double goals rewarding attacks in these areas.

FOCUS ON
  • Difference between distribution phase and incision phase and how this affects decisions.
  • Tempo, this should increase in incision phase compared to distribution.
  • Attacking the areas we are most likely to gain success ie half space and deep receiving pocket.

Key Areas

Our attacking play will be centred around the following zones. Entrusting creativity to our central midfield players in the incision zone. Our attacking unit will be responsible for offering options to break into the target area or half space via direct route from #9 or 7 and 11 via the deep receiving pockets. If #7 or #11 receive the ball then 2/3 moves up to support that side and one of centre backs moving into that support zone. 

Balance is key and rotations in midfield must include 1 remaining to slow down counter attacking threats while the block recovers.
