Description

1 Hour and 30 Mins. Working on the defensive principle of pressing. Defending from the front allows a high line to be played to catch runners offside and force the opposition into ling ball tactics.

Players learn to work together enhancing communication off the ball and an understanding of their roles within a match environment

Technical Practice: Receiving under pressure (15 mins)

Player A passes the ball to Player B to start the practice.

Player A then presses B

Player B must relieve pressure by playing to the RIGHT to Player C.

Player C is then pressed by Player D and again relieves pressure by playing to the RIGHT.

The practice continues with the next Player B pressing the next Player A

Players always pass to the right and move the the left. Pressing players press the ball and join the end of that line.

Coaching Cue

1) The pressing player may start to cheat and instead of pressing the ball player they may press slightly to the right in the shaded area to attempt to cut out the pass or show the receiving player where to pass therefore taking their option away. This a CUE.

2) The second pressing player may start to press to early rather than reacting to the trigger (the previous pressing players movement)

Possession SSG (20 mins)

Both End Zones serve as goals. If either team posses the ball in the opponents end zone they score a goal.

The defending team look to press as a unit in order to force the team in possession to play long or into an area with a numerical advantage. (2&3)

Pressing forces the back 4 to keep a high line which make it much easier to play strikers offside. (3)
