Ball Mastery (10 mins)

Football Problem

We fail to shut down our opposition in our final 3rd in central areas which is causing us to concede to many goals

Session Objective

The objective in this session is to improve the teams ability to shut down the middle area in our final 3rd reducing the oppositions ability to create goal scoring opportunities

Organisation

Players in a grid 25 x 25 demonstrating different skills on the coaches call. Focus on juggling, dribbling with both feat in tight areas and increasing their spacial awareness

Progression

leave balls on ground and dynamic stretch. look at a game of pushing team mates ball out of the grid and keep your ball in. Once your ball is out of the grid you juggle on the outside waiting to go back in at the end of game

Team Task

Positioning game (20 mins)

Football Problem

We fail to shut down our opposition in our final 3rd in central areas which is causing us to concede to many goals

Session Objective

The objective in this session is to improve the teams ability to shut down the middle area in our final 3rd reducing the oppositions ability to create goal scoring opportunities

Organisation

2 grids 25x25 3v3+2 & 2v2+J+2. The grid with the joker has an overload in the middle as well as bounce players on the outside. Blue start with the ball and for ever succesful 10 passes they receive a point. They can use the bounce players as often as they like to help hold posession. when red wins the ball they are to try and complete 10 passes for a point

Progression

limit touches and keep the ball moving and try and create disorganised defending. End players can rotate on outside lines as long as they are opposite each other to encourage getting into position to receive the ball

Team Task

BPO team to stay tight and compact to replicate playing in central areas and try and cut off the forward pass as if they are trying to hit the 9. BP team hold posession by accurate effective passing and movement off the ball

Player Tasks

Each player must move 3 paces anywhere after passing ball in the big grid. One player in BPO to call the team movement eg: left, right, push, retreat

Coaches Cues

Shape of BPO. Ability to be patient in winning the ball but not allowing them to progress the ball to the opposite player. Movement off the ball, keep the ball moving, passing accuracy.

Session Objective

The objective in this session is to improve the teams ability to shut down the middle area in our final 3rd reducing the oppositions ability to create goal scoring opportunities

Organisation

7v8 with set up as shown. danger zone highlighted with shaded box. Ball starts with the blue 4 who can not progress past the red line and is there to start the game and be an option to play back to. the red team needs to stop the red ball from entering the danger zone by sheilding the pass into the area or forcing their play straight back out. If red wins the ball they can score in any of the 3 goals and blue is to build uo and try and score

Progression

Take the danger zone out and see if they can still block the danger area of force play back

Team Task

Good communication to stay tight and stop blue from entering the danger area. Move up when red play a negative pass

Player Tasks

6& 8 to sheild the area from both sides and directly through the middle. 3&4 to stay tight band compact to protect our central area
