3 Team Rondo (20 mins)

Intervals:

4 min work + 1 min rest x 3 reps = 15 min

Setup:

3 teams of 5

Grid split into 1/3s -- 25x20 (wider than long; middle zone 10x20)

Activity:

Only defending team can score -- 1 point for winning ball and playing back to central channel; 3 points for scoring in goal behind attackers (small goal with no GK)

Weak side team should send in one midfielder into central zone.

Defending team can send one to deeper zone if they want (prevent long ball).

Coaching Points:

~ Technical details: receive across body, pass to proper foot, open body to field

~ Central player moving opposite of the ball

~ Using up-back-thru to transfer ball safely

~ #2/3 maintaining width

Zonal Game - 7v7 (20 mins)

Setup:

40 wide x 50 long with endzones as shown

2 teams of 8

2v1 in endzones (2 CBs vs 1 CF)

5v5 in the middle

Activity:

Team scores by getting ball into center forward under control.

Team in possession can use supporting CBs (CF can pressure).

Progression:

+ Score by getting ball into CF and then back to a midfielder

Coaching Points:

~ Can I play directly into CF (skip lines)?

~ Can I play forward to furthest CM?

~ Look for opportunties for up-back-thru

~ CB's use #6 to play in/out to get ball to other CB to avoid square pass across back

Setup:

80x65 field (bigger is better)

2 teams

Both teams in 1-4-2-1

Activity:

Coaching Points:

+ Immediate support behind the ball when winning it

+ Quickly re-creating the back 4 "U" shape

+ Mainting length by having a player stretch the game long (usually #9)
