Set up & transfer

SET UP: A zone of approx 30 x 30 (vary with numbers and quality - but want a tight space ) and 4 v 4 in the middle of the zone and your back 4 OUTSIDE the zone

AIM: To POFB using the outside zone players to keep the ball & pass inside the zone to their team (BLUE) to transfer the ball to the #9 at the end of the zone -

HOW: Play starts with players 3/4 who can pass the ball either into the zone or outside. and aim is to keep possession and transfer the ball directional to the other end - Players 2345, are the ONLY players outside the zone (they cant go inside either) and initially they can be pressured by the red team (if they chose to), but the red team can NOT go outside the zone.

When RED team win possession ball back to start to repeat process

PROGRESSION: Allow only 2 touch to outside players - Allow 1 player from Red team to go outside Zone to add pressure to Blue players - Add 2 red players to be allowed outside zone to replicate a press from opposition

COACHING POINTS: Replicate POFB getting width and height up the field from the 2/5, look at can the 6 drop in to get the ball and what is our movement OFF the ball to transfer it forward.

Can coach a Number of key points inside the zone, players not be ing in a straight line, creating angles, good body shape, 1st touch, etc

Defensively we can coach players zonal defendong, stopping the passing lanes for ball to go forward, etc.

Moving ball between 3rds

SET UP: Create 3 equal size grids and use up to 14 players (or adjust according to numbers)

AIM: For the ball to transfer betweeen each of the thirds in the field commencing with POFB

HOW: Play starts with GK (yellow) playing a pass into a blue (3/4) in zone 1 , aaim is for the ball to be kept by the BLUE team BUT the ball must move through each third, to get to the top to be a sucess, and the ball must be kept for some period possession in each zone for sucess (coach can add in constraints, ie 4 passes per zone, 20 seconds, etc)

PROGRESSION: As above add in game related constraints to make it harder for Blue team to kepp the ball, give different roles to RED team on how to defend PRESS the 3/4, mark the 2/5 tighter, etc

COACHING POINTS: Transfer the ball forward , quickly, moveemnt off the ball, no straight lines, players opposite, again MANY coaching topics within this session.
