Midfield zone (20 mins)

Over the River:

-3 20x15yd areas with center zone divided.

Description:

Players are split into 3 teams and placed 1 team in each zone. Team in the middle send 2-3 defenders with remaining player in front half of middle zone (may prevent pass across).

After pre-determined number of passes, attacking team (blue) plays ball to opposite grid for 1 point. Defending team (red) remains defenders.

If defending team (red) intercepts and completes a pass to players in the middle, the ball is played to opposite grid (yellow). Yellow team becomes attackers. Blue team defends. Red team replaces blue team.

Coaching Points:

Defensive pair prevent penetrating ball; Press together; Attacking team shape; Individual shape to prepare 1 touch penetrating pass; Communication; Speed of transition

Phase 3

Progression:

-Play starts as previously but the players in the middle have to combine before playing out to the end.

Further Progression:

-Allow the middle players to track each other.

-Add a goal behind the end lines.

Focus:

Middle players should try to time their runs for when an end player has a clear pass forward.

Try to receive on the half turn (Can you see both ends of the pitch?)

If the forward checks to receive but doesn't receive the pass, he should return to the central area.

When combining in the middle zones forwards should be at an angle from each other.
