Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Attack v Defence

Screen 1 (40 mins)

Team Learning Objectives - reinforcement of game principles.

Session Organisation - Pitch and numbers as shown or adapt to your needs. Reds attack the mini goals. Blues attack the big goal. Play 5 minute games & set different challenges each time.

How to Play - Reds must utilise all the space available to them when they have possession of the ball, giving both width and depth.

Reds must get compact when they lose possession, be prepared to give up space in wide areas.

Blues should try to be patient, positive and penetrative when the time comes. Full backs must be taught when to join the attack to create overloads.
