3 team pressing game (25 mins)

Set up as shown. Width should be a little bigger than the 6 yard box. Length should be almost half field

- Three teams, two teams with GKs working together, one player from each team in the centre area with defenders

- Attacking teams must play through central players to switch to far side for a point

- Attackers can score two points by switching through the wide channels, and 1 point for switching through the central channel

- Defending teams can regain the ball in the GK area and score for 1 goal, or regain in the central area and score for two goals

- Defending team must send 1 player into the area to press, but no more than 3 players to press (their choice

Play 6x3' blocks, each team defends twice

Attacking teams should play as a back 4 in their box with a single pivot in the middle channel

Coaching points:

- To start, coach the back 4 to move the ball quickly to build out thru the side channels to connect to the #6s

- Defensively, angle of runs to give space where you want them to play

- Timing of pressure, press when ball is traveling!

- Cover players in central channel, drop away and let the #6 (one or both) get open to invite the trap

- Close the trap quickly when #6 receives the ball

Functional Pressing game 7v5 (65 mins)

Game set up is as shown. Start by playing 7v5 (with 5 resting to come in for the pressing players)

- Game starts w/ GK build out (hands, resting players are serving crosses for him to come and claim

- Build out shape with a back 4 and double 6

- Defensive shape with a front 3 and double 10

- Mini goals wide (use the rec goals)

Build out team:

- Use the wide areas to try and build out and score (Carsten, Joey, Charlie, Kyle/Nate?, Vinny, Luka)

Focus team:

- Press outside in to force them to play inside to their #6s, set a central trap for the x2 10s to spring (all others, Jacen can take reps with Ben if we have enough others)

Coaching points:

- Wingers must start deeper and take away the direct pass up the wing to goal

- #9 cuts off the switch between the CBs/GK

- double 10s stay deeper, let at least 1 of the #6s get open

- Press the #6 receiving as the ball is traveling to them with BOTH 10s

- Weak side winger drops deeper and central to cover double 10s/winger outlet

- Once ball is regained, striker should drift between the CBs (can get the ball to him quickly?)

Finish playing 9v9 3/4 field (both goals on 18 yard boxes or use 9v9 in central area of the field)

Both teams play a 3-2-3
