For Head coach - In PO - 2v1s, 3v2s, central 4v3 find the spare man

-GK - Shot Stopping in & out of box, Deal with Crosses and far attacker, Communication is key, organize the defense and encourage pressing forcing everything wide

Players & Formation:

Instructions:

P2-Red midfield can now leave the middle zone once we have success from the Blue out wide

Blocks & Timings & Progressions:

-2 mins - Walk Through & Intro to the activity

-Remember, what formation are we simulating against, where are we strong

-FBs drive forward, create 2v1 on the outside with overlap, Underlap if the ball is played from central channel to the outside

-Winger encourage a early ball to create overlap, if not, get out of the lane and allow the 9 to come over

-3 mins - Concurrent, encourage the wide players to drive forward to create the 2v1

-2 mins - Bring both groups in

P2 - Red can now leave the middle zone, We now need to consider where the overload opportunity will be, can we find the field that we can now have the overload, can we get the attacking midfielder involved, or switch to the other side and try and attack quickly

What If Blue are really doing well, add a - P2 - Blue also now have a 7 second time limit to score

-3 mins - Concurrent Feedback, coaching process could be needed here as it becomes more difficult for the blue to score,

-2 mins - Transition into the new activity, move the small goals off the field, leave the zones in for coaching opportunities
