4v4 + 3 (10 mins)

The 22 field players will divide themselves into two playing grids.
Each grid will have 2 teams of 4 and 3 neutral players helping the team on possession. Ultimately when a team has possession of the ball, it becomes 7v4.

The team without the ball has to stay together and minimize passing lanes through them and find the right time to press as a group. The team on possession has to continuously scan the are around and position themselves in the open spaces to find passing lanes and moments to keep the ball.

Coaching points:

Creating passing lanes
Body positioning to find 3rd man
Can we skip lines of pressure.
Can the neutral in the middle be the playmaker and continuously find the open player.

2 v 1 shooting (15 mins)

2 v 1 going to goal.

It's important for players to make the right decision in the final third. Especially when in numerical advantage. This exercise will force players to make the right decision to find the shot with the highest % to succeed. This will also get players to work on their finishing and shooting at goal.

Players will both need to defend and attack. so they will switch from the 2 lines involved in offense to the line that works on defense.

Coaching Points Offensively:
Making the right pass and making sure they don't run early and get onside.
Focusing on finishing.

Coaching Points Defensively:
Making sure you cut the angle and put early pressure.

11 v 11 Play through Middle (15 mins)

We have an 11 v 11 functional exercise where the players need to combine through the marked area in the middle before they can attack any of the 3 mini goals.

It's important to be able to combine through the middle as this actions attracts the other team centrally which then opens up the spaces to attack. It's important that when the ball is being combined in the middle, the players who could possible be options on the sides can start to position themselves in optimal position to be dangerous.
