Break Out (15 mins)

Organisation:

4 10x10 boxes on the corners of a 15x15 box in the centre. Boxes are numbered 1,2,3,4,5

Players dribble around the centre box at good tempo keeping the ball close to feet, when coach calls out a number players must break out and get into the smaller box as quickly as possible

Coaching Points:

-Close, tight ball control inside area.

-Explosiveness when breaking out.

-Quality of first touch

-Awareness of space and players

-Concentration and recognition of target box

-Speed of thought

-Speed of play

-High tempo

Progressions:

-Instead of calling out numbers, use a coloured cone for each box. This forces players to be aware and maintain concentration so that they can recognise and process what box they need to break out to.

-Coach doesn't dictate the colour, instead the players decide but they can only occupy 2 boxes

-Knockout system. Promotes competition and speeds up cognitive and physical process. Last player to arrive at target box is ‘out’. Last person to remain in competition is the winner.

-Employ defenders on the edge of each box. Promotes creativity and invention of‘attackers’ to get into the target box.

Regression:

-Increase size of boxes

-Reduce distance between boxes.
