Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creating overloads with overlapping fullbacks

MDG (10 mins)

Istructions:

Play 4-3 (+GK and neutral player) formation, but Reds score in goals and Blues must link up with neutral player before scoring in small gates.

Progressions:

1- Play 4-4 against a GK-4-3 formation.

2- A goal after a overlap count as 2 goals

Coaching points:

1) Recognize where is the ball, teammates and opponents

2) Look for the space in front of you to run into

3) Anticipate when the ball will come to your side (recognize switching play) / when the support in front of the ball for the winger in possession is needed

4) Track winger movements – recognize when he will create space for the full-back to run into / use your own initiative and create space

5) Communicate with wingers (7&11) and other players “go away” “play” “go inside” etc.

Description

Setup as mentioned in the function slide. Play 4-3 (+GK and neutral player) formation, but Reds score in goals and Blues must link up with neutral player before scoring in small gates.

Feelings

I felt the session ran smoothly and the players understood my coachong points.

Evaluation

Overall, I felt that my detail, on,off and around the ball was good. I affected the ball and everyone around the ball.

Analysis

I felt that both teams understood their role within their team.

Conclusion

I think I could have used more of a target/objective for the blues when in the function.

Action plan

organisation at the start would have been much better. I would of had a debrief at the end instead of alowing the ssg to go all the way until my time was up
