1 - Coached on Pressing (20 mins)

Organisation - Station 1 - 7v7 Defending

What I want the boys to take from the session - Defending team to attempt to press the ball and win the ball back high up the pitch.

Hunt for the ball like lions

- Start positions - Work through units - Attacker / Midfield / Defense / GK

- The lions all surround the prey getting ready to attack

- The closest lion starts to close in on the prey

- The supporting lions follow closely behind blocking the ways for the prey to escape

3 - Defending 1v1 (20 mins)

Organisation - 1v1's

3 different start points.

1 - Boys attack the goal once they have shot or lost the ball they turn and defend the next player.

2 - Boys to receive a pass with back to goal then they start their 1v1 - boys to rotate positions Passer --> Attacker --> Defender --> Back of line

3 - Same as activity 2 however they now receive a pass and the attacker attacks them from the side.

CP's

1 - Transition - Make yourself hard to beat

2 - Marking the player - Distance & Positioning - Try not to let attacker turn

3 - Press or give them ground ? - Get yourself between the ball & the goal ASAP
