Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Build Up Game Model

Animation 1

Phase:

- Play Out of the back +1

- This is an overview of movement patterns and ball movement to play out of the defensive third under control. We need to have one more player (+1) in the first line of the build up than the opponent has in their forward line.

Organizations:

- This is an overview of movement patterns and ball movement to play out of the defensive third under control.

There are a number of advantages to having an extra player in the 1st line.

-Provides you with numerical superiority

-Allows for a “safer” build up with less chance of losing possession

-Provides your team with an unmarked (“free”) player, which means there is always someone open (unmarked)

-Allows you to disorganize the opponents 1st line and provoke pressure from the opponents midfield line — creating more space further up the pitch and behind the opponents midfield line

Focus areas:

- Pressure from the opponent.

- Strengths & weakness of the individual opponents.

Key factors:

- Player movements.

- Recognition of situation.

- Playing what you see.

- Weight of the pass.
