In the previous game multiple times we were trapped against the sideline and conceded possession.

The purpose of this session is to improve the teams ability to open up the pitch from a M3 Throw in. In our last game were struggled to open up the pitch and retain possession. This resulted in many undesirable turnovers and led to a goal.

In the Premier League 23 season, M3 regains contributed to the highest contributor of regains at 18% . This was measured on teams losing the ball in M3 within 4 passes or less. 31% were from open play ranked top. Moreover, from set plays, Throw-in from M3 is third behind corners and penalties at 12% .

Passing Pattern (15 mins)

60 x 40 wide pitch representing Middle Third (M3).

2 Teams playing simultanesously.

Technical focus based on opening up the pitch from a M3 throw in. 3 minute blocks work both sides.

Can start by giving the team the first movement and bounce back, and let them find a combination back to thrower or walk through whole pattern. CB's swap after each pattern.

Progression: 6 still makes movement but ball side CB bounces back to switch.

Timing of movements are key.

Prinicples to focus on are: Width from FB, mobility (switching point of attack and clever movement to open passing lane) and depth.

Passing detail: every blade of grass, back foot, good ball speed (firm).

Player cues:

Near side CB offer depth to switch point of attack through GK if needed.
Opposite side FB to open up pitch and mover out wards to touchline.
8 to shift into half space to receive
10 to look to receive in central space
