    Organization - areas, 10*10 yds

    3 players on the outside stay on their own line

    Instructions and variations:

    - The 3 greens play keep ball while the blue presses to break up the play

    - You can change it up from unlimited touches, to 2 touch, to 1 touch, to 1 or 2 touch 

    Progressions/Regress/Conditions-Challenge-Target:


    - How many consecutive passes can you make?

    - 2 minute blocks, who can be in the middle the least number of times

    - 5 minute block, 5 lives each and you lose a life every time you end up in the middle - who can survive? When you get to zero you still carry but the ones at the end with lives left win the round.

    Coaching Points:

    - On your toes and springy

    - Inside of the foot, correctly weighted pass

    - Moving to prepare to receive

    - Receive on back foot

    - Close control, inside of foot and cushion ball out your feet ready for quick pass with second touch

    - Move the ball quickly

    - Body shape, deception of pass

    Specific Practice - Positioning all around the pitch (25 mins)

    Match practice - 5 touch max

    Main focus is to observe positioning and coach individual and units on their positioning depending on where the ball is on the pitch. 

    Work with one unit at a time

    ORGANISATION:

    - 2 Team 9v9

    KEY FACTORS:

    - The Objective is to get the ball into the feet of the False 9s

    - Ball has to be played on the ground only up towards the False 9 Zone

    - When False 9 receives ball quickly set an attack to try and score

    Coaching points

     - Firm weighted passes to reach target

    - vary breaking lines & going around

    - False 9s moving and rotating picking up different positions all the time

    - All attacking team players to receive ball on back foot half turn and ensure checking over shoulder
