Organisation:

the player to go through their dynamic warm up/stretches

then break off into 4v2 rondos for ball activation

Coaching Points:

2 touch max, 1 touch where we can

movement to create angles to receive the ball

keep increasing the tempo

when defending work together as a 2, try to isolate half the grid to create 2v2 or even 2v1s

pick the moments to try and win the ball, poor pass, poor touch

Shadow play

Organisation:

The team is to be set up in our game day formation

objective is to go through patterns of play with focus on how we build up play in possession and our movement off the ball in relation to the play

Coaching Points:

Passing Quality - ball speed, passing to the task, pass to the correct foot of the receiver

Receiving quality - use correct foot, use correct part of the foot for the next action, be ready to receive the ball, body shape upon receiving.

Scanning awareness - check before asking for the ball, check as ball is travelling and check again after taking first touch, have options in your head before asking for the ball, head up once received,

movement - our movement off the ball needs to reflect the ball position, is the balls goes left we slide left, if is goes right we slide right, we have to work as one whole team unti but also as individuel units (def,mid,att). when building the attack, mids and attackers need to actively look to create space for themselves to receive, if we do not get the ball, recycle movement and create again

2v2 press and support game

Organisation:

The players are to be split into equal teams. 1 player from each team to be placed at the opposite end of the grid as the target player inbetween the 2 small goals

grid size approx 25x20 - 2 small goals to be placed on the corners or the grid at each end

Outline - the coaches plays the ball in to one of the teams, 2 player from each team drive into the grid, the attacking team to try and score in either goal at the end they are attacking, the defending team to work together to prevent them from scoring, if the defending team with the ball they can attempt to score.

If attacking team score they keep the ball, if they lose possession or miss the goals then possession turns over

no limits on when attacking team can score

Scoring - if attacking team score straight in the goal its worth 1 point, if they are able to combine with the target player and score that is worth 2 points

Coaching Points:

Attacking - look to score as quickly as possible, keep ball moving to unbalance defenders and not allow them to set - time forward play to bring in target player to create overload

Defending:

- high intensity to close ground to attackers to prevent early shot at goal

- defenders not be in a flat line to prevent being split/ leaving space behind, if they pass, players should recognise if they are to drop off and let other player press, communication and awareness is key, do not just chase the ball

- 4 ds of defending - delay, deny, deflect, defend

Delay - slow progress forwards (allow rest of team to set in shape behind in 11v11)
Deny - space in behind, second defender to not be flat with defender pressing, drop off cover space, deny time - close space to ball carrier quickly
Defect - show them where we want them to play, body shape, positioning when trying to show, angle or approach, fast approach,slow arrival. Do we deflect wide and away from goal or into our supporting teammates
Defend - win the ball, make the tackle, timing is key, wait for a loose touch, do not dive in, control you momentum, do not let them use your momentum against them
