Passing pattern (20 mins)

Set Up

last cone when no ones there dribble to the next cone before making pass

players must make sure their pass is accurate and does not hit a player or ball

Progressions

use weaker foot

Combine (1-2) before making next pass

Key Points

Check off the cone to create space for accurate passing line

Put your name on the ball and give information on where you want it "Daniel wants on my back foot"

Weight of the pass

3v3 PCB (30 mins)

Pressure, Cover Balance

3v3

- 3 attackers and 3 defenders

- attackers start with the ball beside the goal, their aim is to get the ball in the end zone

- the defenders will be working on pressing high, covering and player giving the team balance

- defenders aim;

1. if they win the ball in the zone closest to goal (high pressure) - 3 points

2. if they win it with the covering player, middle zone (covering) - 2 points

3. if they recieve it in the last zone by the player giving balance (low pressure) 1 point

Progression

Once the defenders win the ball they are then free to score

two teams swap over

Key Points

- Player pressing to make command before closing down the ball so team mates can support and cover accordnigly

- players should be shaped like a triangle to ensure they are covering each other

- if attacker gets past defender, a recovery run shouold be made to now pick up a new position and new role within the group.
