Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Tactical Position Diamond shape

Rondo

Rondo

8 v 2 in a 10 x 10-yard area playing 1 touch

Count passes in succession, award extra point(s) for any through ball that

splits the 2 defenders. Defenders must win or disturb 3 possessions to get out

-- any through ball rewards the possession group with 1 extra possession.

Coaching Points

• Possession team must play quick in tight area with good touch

• Anticipate the next pass, be creative and deceptive, use a variety of touches

and feints -- seek out the best option

• Defenders must apply pressure to the ball and support the pressure

• Constant communication between the 2 and shifting of positions relative to

the ball

• If the defense plays flat, a through ball can beat them, thus, it is 1 player up

and 1 player off. Pressure /Cover

4v2 w/trans. (15 mins)

Play 4v2 with one of the four being a keeper playing with feet only until such a time when defenders win it, they can either take two touches to finish or set for a one touch finish with their partner.

Keep extra balls in goals for fluency.

If pass is poor from the four coach can play a ball in to facilitate the strikers.

4v3+K

2 teams:

The team defending the big goal must send one player to be the keeper. The attacking team continue to attack the big goal until the defending team score in one of the mini goals.

Then the roles are reversed.

Defending team should condense the space in front of goal while the 4 sgould look to make themselves and their shape as big as possible.

Look too make sure we can penetrate the space with a pass towards a forward.

without the player playing high players are limited to playing only wide and back ands allows defending team to push on and pressure team closer to their own goal/s.
