Warm Up/Passing Practice (15 mins)

Frame

Main Moment: BPO

Key Principle: Press the ball carrier immediatly

5 W's

What? Not winning the ball back quickly enough

Who? 7-9-11

When? BPO

Where? Attacking third

Why? Not recognising cues to press collectively

Session Objective

Football Problem: Not Pressing in numbers in opponents defensive third.

Session Objective. In this session I aim to improve our ability to collectively press the opponent when they are playing out from the back to create goalscoring opportunities.

The passing practice starts with player A who passes to B and runs towards the cone where player C is stationed. As the ball is travelling to Player B, C puts passive pressure on player B's touch.

B cuts C out game with his first touch and passes to the opposite end where D is stationed.

Player C takes the position of player B and waits for the ball to come back around.

D continues the sequence and passes E, then back to A and continue araound

Step up/variation

Change direction - Left Foot passes.

Introduce more footballs.

Increase the pressing intensity from the central players

Increase the length of the area A&D positions, now when played to A & D, they play a 1–2 around the cone and continue the drill.

A& D play first time to B & E after the 1-2.

Positioning Game (20 mins)

A grid of approximately 40m x 50m

2 teams, orange and yellow

Each play starts with one of th GK or bouncer playing to their team

Drop off zone in front of each GK

Players as much as possible in their game positions

Coach discretion to determine which keeper starts the drill depending on level of success.

The opposing team can't go into the drop off zone.

Both teams objective is to score in the small goals.

After the first pass out of the drop off zone, the defending team try to win the ball back as quick as possible and score in the small goals.

Steps up or down:

• Make the grid bigger/smaller

Team Task

Press as a group to force mistakes and win the ball on the opponents defensive third.

Player Task

If you think you can win the ball, be aggressive and pressure the opponent to win the ball, force a mistake or force the opponent to play backwards or square.

When close to the ball and the opponent passes backwards, can you quickly press one of their possible passing options?

If you are too far away to win the ball back, can you drop and block a passing lane?

Can you communicate with your team mates, when to press the ball and when to drop off and block passing lanes.

Coaches Cues

If you think you can win the ball back quickly, be aggressive and quickly pressure.

If you can't win it back quickly, force your opponent to play to the side where we have the most players?

Delay the player with the ball to allow your teamates time to support you?

As an opponent shapes to pass, can you quickly press the reciving player as the ball is travelling

Game Training (25 mins)

Yellow team GK + 6 1-3-2 formation

Play starts with yellow GK.

A drop off zone allows yellow team to have the first pass from the GK unopposed. Once the GK has played out the orange team can press the defenders.

The yellow teams objective is to score in the small goals in as short a time possible.

The orange team try to win the ball back as soon as possible and create scoring chances in the big goal.

Team Task

Player Tasks

Can 7/11 press their fullbacks quickly and force them to play a long ball.

Can you force your opponent into an area where you have the most teamates to help win the ball back.

8/10 look for opportunities to pinch the ball and go forward if 7/9/11 can force a mistake.

Coaches Cues.

7 and 11 force them to play central when the goal keeper plays to 2 or 5.

Win it back and counter quickly either centrally or in wide areas and try to score?

Force a mistake by being aggressive with your pressing?

Communicate with your team mates to help press the right players at the right time.
