Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Impact FC Tuesday 28/02

Screen 2

Stages of play possession practice

3 Stages of play: In Possession - Out of Possession - Transition

3 parts of the field: Defensive Third - Midfield Third - Attacking Third

We start in the defensive third, simple possession, the defending team start with the ball and keep possession using the whole space, when the other team win the ball they try and score in the mini goals. Defensive team have to be more conservative with how they press, in order to not give the key space away for the attacking to score if the attacking team score they get a point. If the defending team win the ball back they must try to break out of the box into the mid field third.

Emphasis on what the defending team do in the transition

They must remain compact, not pressing too aggressively.

Back into shape, allowing the two midfield to do the majority of the pressing.

Screen 4

Stages of play possession practice

3 Stages of play: In Possession - Out of Possession - Transition

3 parts of the field: Defensive Third - Midfield Third - Attacking Third

Final Third

Same concept as the middle third, the defending team will start with possession, aiming to keep possession again making space etc. Now when the attacking team win the ball they will aim to get the ball through all three thirds with the goal of scoring. If the defending team win the ball back again their goal is score in the mini goals.

Emphasis on what the defending team do in the transition.

This transition will be similar to a counter attack transition, where defenders will sprint back towards their goal, midfielders will also be sprinting back but also keeping an eye on play, the attackers will press very aggressively to win the ball back in the final third

Rotating Bounce passers

Attacking team will start with the ball, they will attempt to score, if they do, they get a point. Defending team is defending the goal. After 2 minutes the attacking team becomes the defending team, defending team will become bounce passers, and bounce passers will become attackers. 

After 2 rounds of this, it will be winners stay on, whoever is attacking will attempt to score, if they do they become defenders and the defending team become the bounce passers.
