Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Show Threaten Stretch 1

Show Warmup

Pass Long, Show to Middle.    Stretch wide while next player plays long and shows middle.  After stretching, players should sprint to end line as if to receive a through ball.

Show, Stretch, Threaten

Start with a player at B.    Player A shows to middle, stretches wide and sprints on.   As Player A shows to middle, player B makes threatening run in behind Player A.    (represents blind side run).    Player C plays ball to B, and runs to receive wall pass back to play back to A line.   Rotation: A to C, B to A, C to B

Look to Threaten SSG

Setup:   Make bigger or smaller depending on group.   2v2 to 3v3 + 4 in middle of octagon.  4 neutrals outside of playing area on corners.  Can play with larger goals and keepers.  3 to 4 mannequins in middle (but optionally play without)

Game: Neutrals cannot play to each other across dotted line, but they may play across to partner on same half.   Team in possession (orange), may only go across and score off a pass from one of the neutrals across the line.  (i.e. back pass and threaten for wall run or forward pass and run to get wall pass back).   Try to score on pugs.   If ball is won on attacking half may go to goal right away.    

Support players have 2 touch.  

Options:  1) Can get across line with dribble, combo, or using neutrals to threaten   2)   Use 3 middle and work on stretch, threaten, and show movements on offense

Coaching:   Defense should work to defend dotted line.  Disallow forward pass and track vertical runs.   Extreme pressure and cover.    Press and score when available.  

Offense should work on opposite movements or triangulation of movements.   Show, threaten, stretch OR one show and one go.    Off ball movements focus on double moves and blindside runs.  Follow all shots.  

Show, Threaten, Stretch
