Progression phase 11v11 match prep,

3x6 minute blocks with 90 seconds in between for coaching intervention through example, tactical walkthrough, and tactics board framing,

Full pitch,

MD-3,

Coaching position as close to the middle of our structure as possible on the side of the pitch,

Block 1;

Blues defend in a mid block 4231 with zonal emphasis,

Ball restarts with our back 3 from the coach,

Coaching points;

Fixed and fluid player structure,

Midfield 4 with rb, 2x6, and 10, with a responsibility to find space inside and not block passing lanes to outside fixed players,

All players positive side of the first line of pressure,

Decsion making from our build up fixed players to play either inside or outside depending on the oppositions structure,

Block two;

Blue team defend man to man up against our structure in a 343, only when we receive the ball with our 3 fixed players,

Coaching points;

Use this pressure to find the space and players behind the structure,

Try to find our top line if they're man to man, this can be done by playing outside cb to winger, if we are not blocking the passing lane,

Speed the game up to go to goal when we find ourselves in a man for man situation with our top line
