Description

Practice focus is to keep the ball and secure it as soon as it is recovered by playing it to the player in a less crowded area and creating spaces.

And, to press the players in possession by reducing time, space, and passes options.

Pass & Press (10 mins)

Method:

1. The group is divided into groups and passes the ball in order from 1 to 4 inside the space.

2. Next exercise the order of passes will be free for the players, but the one that passes the ball turns into a defender and puts pressure on the receiver (to force a quick decision and movement from the other players to give options). 

Coaching Points:

The objective of the warm-up is to practice passes, movement without the ball, and communication between team players to receive. The emphasis in asking for the ball and running into free

2 teams vs 1 (10 mins)

Method:

The 3 teams are going to work altogether. One team is the defender and 2 teams will be in possession of the ball. Given that 2 teams are against 1, the team defending must do pressing to reduce the time and space of the player with the ball.

If the defending team recovers the ball turns into possession and the team that loses it turns into a defender.


Coaching Points:

- Pressing must be done quickly against the player with the ball and closest teammates (reducing time, space, and options)

- Teams in possession have the advantage of being more players so they must widen the field and play deep as well to keep the ball. Movement without the ball and space occupancy is key.

1 team vs 1 + 1 (25 mins)

Method:

1 team is in possession of the ball while another team defends, even numbers. The team in possession has a neutral player on each side of the delimitated field (the third team).

The first exercises consist of the possession team completing 10 passes (the passes between 2 neutrals do not count). In case of 10 successful passes, then the team changes possession with the outside team.


Coaching Points:

- When in possession make good use of space by passing the ball to the neutral players and taking the ball from crowded to empty spaces.

Posession + Transition to defend with pressing (25 mins)

Method:

Same as before, the team that recovers should secure the and go to the outside to play as neutrals while the last neutral team enters to have possession. The team that loses the ball has to press.

Coaching Points:

- When in possession make good use of space by passing the ball to the neutral players and taking the ball from crowded to empty spaces.

- Press has to be done as soon as the ball is recovered as it may not be in control and players not ready to make passes.
