Technical Progression (10 mins)

Technical progression 

Pairs are now free to move into the final 3rds to shoot at mini goals either side of the pitch. 

Pairs must combine for 3 passes before playing the ball into the final 3rd, the ball cannot be dribbled in.

Once a player has scored, they must repeat the process to allow their teammate to score in the next goal.

Mechanic focus- Ensure coach emphasizes the need to get the body in a position to strike the ball upon receiving the pass from partner. 

Progression- One pair become defenders to apply pressure to players

Progression- First time finish only in the final 3rd

Progression- Weak foot only

Challenge- Use one striking technique only (Inside, outside, laces)

Potential regression- Players can dribble in

5v5 if 10 players, 5v5 + 2 if working with 12 players

Players must combine for a minimum of 5 passes before a through ball is played into either final 3rd to score a goal. 

The finish must be within 2 touches of entering the final 3rd to count. No defenders are allowed into the final 3rd once the ball is played.

Progression one- 1 defender can now enter the area to oppose the attacker

Progression two- No minimum amount of passes (To increase realism)

Progression three- Coach demands a finish with either laces/inside/outside of the foot

Challenge- Mini goals can earn points as long as the finish is first time.

5v5 or 6v6 depending on numbers

First 5 minutes- Only 1 defender from each team is allowed into the final 3rd (Encouraging attackers to combine quickly but with less pressure)

Next 5 minutes- Remove condition on defenders, but first time finishes are worth double

Final 5 minutes- Free play, first time finishes still worth double
