Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Team Session: Delay, Deny & Dictate I

Delay Body Angle (10 mins)

- Players work in pairs, swapping the roles each attempt, both positioned opposite each other, with enough space to make a pass.

- The player with the ball plays a pass to the player opposite and presses straight away, leaving enough distance between them to dribble.

- For the player receiving, they aim to move the ball left & right to encourage the defender to change their body shape and angle, until they reach the starting point. 

2 vs 2 DDD (30 mins)

- Teams split into two, attackers & defending teams, with a GK in the standard goal.

- Two attacking players start halfway, within the centre circle and the two defenders start on either side of the goal.

- Both attacking players breakaway, and run wide past the mini-goals, where a pass is played into space by one of the two defenders.

- One defender presses the ball, whilst the other tracks the movement of the man off the ball.

- The attacking team have to make one pass at least before attacking the goal, where the GK is positioned.

- Play goes on, until out of play or a goal is scored by either team, which means the GK can look to play out if possession is with them.
