Futsal Session (Senior): Taipans 16B Session 3 - Organised Attack 4-0

2v2 Rondo + 3rd Player (15 mins)

• 2v2 with the aim of making 4 passes and transferring the ball to the other group.
• After the first pass, a player from the 2nd group can join in the top end by running around the outside of the grid, making a temporary 3v2. 
• If defenders win the ball, they transfer the ball to the other group and restart the play.
• 60s rounds

• Dualities between players (curtains, blocks, wall passes, between lines)
• Introduce the 3rd player principles (line of 3, indirect curtains, indirect blocks)
• 1-player principles (face forward, keep the ball moving, move with the ball, move the ball with limited touches

Coaching Points:

• Indirect curtain: the 3rd player can look to run in front of the defender when receiving the ball. Aim is to change the focus of the defender and change the free player.
• Indirect block: the 3rd player can block the defender from the outside, preventing him from attacking our ball carrier and allowing us to progress our possession play.
• Line of 3: Our 3rd player should look to position themselves in between pockets of space to create a LO3. 
• Attack pockets of space: If we position ourselves in pockets of space IN FRONT of the defender, we are able to play in between the gaps here, and use either a wall pass to drag defenders in and open up a free player, or play into the 3rd man and he can attack the space.
• Head Up Futsal: The ball carrier needs to get his head up and find the free player based on what the defender is attracted to.
• Movement after the pass: If you don't get the ball, attack new space.
