Variable Practice (20 mins)

The area is set up 40 x 30 yards with a half way line splitting into 2 x 2x30 sections.

The red team play length ways and have a Target Player at each end and the blues play width ways with a Target Player at each end. This creates a 5v4 for the reds per half and a 6v4 for the blues.

The aim of the game is to link 4 passes before a switch can be made. The reds switch to the opposite Target Player, as shown, and transition to that area as quickly as possible. The blues, on completion of their 4 passes move across areas. This can be a diagonal switch from Target to Target or a through ball with the support and transition of all players including Target Players.

Rotate Target Players and also direction of play.

To progress on receiving the ball a Target Player can drive in an be replaced. Both teams will be set up as a Diamond 4 in midfield. Blues are replicating playing forward to #9 and back to #5. Reds are replicating switching from #2 to #3.

Game Training (25 mins)

EXPLANATION

* 7 V 4.

* LOCATION IS IN THE CENTRE OF THE FIELD AS THIS IS WHERE OUR FOOTBALL PROBLEM IS TAKING PLACE.

* PLAY STARTS WITH RED GOALKEEPER WHO PASSES TO #3 OR #4 IN ZONE A WHO MUST BOTH TOUCH THE BALL BEFORE BEFORE THEY CAN PLAY IT TO RED #6, #8 OR #10 IN

ZONE B.

* WHEN IN ZONE B, RED #6, #8 AND #10 MUST KEEP CONTROLLED POSSESSION AND LOOK TO BOUNCE WITH RED #9 IN ORDER TO SCORE IN ONE OF THE 2 MINI GOALS.

* IF THE BLUE TEAM WINS THE BALL THEY MUST KEEP POSSESSION AND LOOK TO PLAY THEIR #9.

* AN OVERLOAD FROM ZONE B TO ZONE A IS ALLOWED AND A 10 SECOND LIMIT IS GIVEN TO SCORE.

* ALL RESTARTS WITH RED GOALKEEPER.

TEAM TASK

* TO KEEP POSSESSION IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD WITH OUR CENTRAL PLAYERS.

PLAYER TASKS

* #6, #8 AND #10 HAVE TO TRY AND RECEIVE THE BALL IN A FORWARD FACING POSITION.

* #6, #8 AND #10 MUST BE MOBILE AND MOVE INTO POSITIONS TO CREATE ANGLES AND SPACE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE THE BALL FROM #3 OR #4.

* #8 AND #10 SHOULD BE LOOKING TO PLAY #9 AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE AND MOVE INTO SPACE TO RECEIVE A RETURN BALL TO SCORE.

COACHES CUES

* #6 YOUR CUE TO RECEIVE THE BALL IS WHEN #3 OR #4 LIFTS THEIR HEAD AND LOOKS TO PASS.

* #8 AND #10 YOUR CUE TO GO FORWARD IS WHEN THE BALL IS PLAYED TO YOU IN A FORWARD POSITION (NOT TO FEET OR WHEN YOUR BACK IS TO GOALS).

ADD #2 AND #5 RED TEAM AND #7 AND #11 BLUE TEAM AND REMOVE CONES TO MAKE FULL WIDTH CONCENTRATING ON MIDFIELD RECEIVING THE BALL FACING FORWARD AND THEIR MOVEMENT OFF THE BALL. ALSO NO RESTRICTIONS ON WHERE PLAYERS CAN GO AS THIS IS NOT GAME REALISTIC. SET UP IS A POSITIONING GAME WITHOUT THIS ALTERATION.
