The players have a cone placed on thier heads (same as the arrival activity). If their cone falls off at any point they have to go back to the last corner square they visited before carrying on again.

1,2,3 breakout & recover (20 mins)

Area:

Use 1/4 of astro pitch and divide the pitch into thirds.

Equipment:

cones, bibs, balls, goals.

Objective:

Split the players into 2 teams. Each player is given a number and their job when out of possesion is to mark the same number as themselves on the team in possesion. So blue1 out of possesion will mark red 1 who is in possesion. Blue 2 out of possesion will mark red 2 in possesion and so on. The practice starts with a possesion game in the middle 3rd. After 3 passes the team in possesion can breakout and attack the goal. The practice is reset once the ball goes dead or the defending team win back possion.

Key Points:

The aim is to get players to identify loss of possesion (in this instance the 3 passes) and get goalside of their marker and defend an attack, Anticipate when it looks like the 3 passes are completed to search for your man.

Progression 1:

Make the game multi directional on the break out to make the player really think about where the play is likely to head.

Progression 2:

Have a normal direction match with blues and reds attacking opposite ends.

Progression 3:

Normal match but keep match up players to try and man mark zonal. For example red right midfield marks l blue left midfield.
