Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Template

Description

Main Moment: BPO

Key Principle: Limit opponent's ability to create scoring changes

Football Problem: (using the 5W’s):

What: Allow the opponent to much time to shot from outside the penalty area.

Who: #GK, #2,#3,#4,#5 

Where: Back 3rd  

When: When we don't have the ball.

Why: Knowing when/who to close down the team in BP 

Football Problem: We are not compact enough to defend the penalty area.

Session Objective: I aim to improve the teams ability to win back possession from the back with better organisation.

Team Tasks: Can you keep shape by working as a unit to win the ball back.

Players Tasks:

-Look to stay compact as a unit

-Know when to pressure the ball and when to force the player towards the sideline.

-Communication between BPO team, passing on players or when to mark the space.

-Position you body to see both the player and the ball

-Closest player to close the ball down 

Coaches Cues:

-When the ball is on the other side of the park, opposite wide defender to tuck in.

-When the attacker drives toward the penalty area, closest defender to hold up the play and allow for 2nd defender.

-If the lead defender commits to a 1v1, next closest defender to close the passing options.

-If you are targeted by the BP players, can you hold the up to create an overload 2v1.

-Formation:1-4-3-3
