topic: selects fc technical - initial game 4 v 2 initial game (15 minutes)
organization:
- split the players up into groups of 6 - each area needs 2 pinnies & soccer balls.
- 15' X 15' per area - size of area may vary
- 4 V 2
- If defender wins ball - they switch with player who had last touch
- If ball goes out - player with last touch switches with nearest defender
key factors & progressions:
- Transitioning from defending from attacking when attackers lose possession quickly
- Speed of play
- Support - angle & distance (movement off the ball to create passing angles)
- Scan before they receive (check shoulder to gather information on & off ball)
- Decision - making
- Communication
- Open body shape to receive passes
- Quickly using width to create time & space in possession

- recognizing where the space is
- trying to use simple skill movements
- making sure there's a change of pace after the skill to accelerate away from the defender
