Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): Creating a Overload in MF

Arrival

Arrival

A Game of catch

Object of the game is to pass the ball into GK's hands

Players to stand still when they receive the ball

CH's can travel with the ball into middle zone to make an overload

Phase of Play

Phase of play

GK kicks the ball down the pitch

Play starts on RCH'S first touch (with this Blue stiker comes into play)

Blue striker to change his angle of approach with each play

Red CH has to pass central line by dribbling the ball into next box (Blue striker remains in his )

Coaching points for RCH:

Receiving skills

Body position in relation to the striker

Good balance.

Decision making When Where How

Once in the middle zone start working with the RMF players on there movement

Are they in a position to receive

Or are they creating space for RCH to exploit ( make sure you change the phase each time)

Also work with the striker (can he reccognise the triggers for the next phase)

Does he make a run for a through ball

Does he want the ball to feet (receiving skills)

How have the RMF supported the stiker

Challenges for Reds:

Can CH cross half way line before a challenge comes in by dribbling

Or can he quickly pass the ball and support the two RMF players

Now we have a 3v2 overload can Red's move the ball into final 3rd for a shot on goal

Working the next phase using the striker as the pivot

RCH retreats into his original zone when the ball is in final 3rd

Blues challenges:

Can the striker win the ball back early

Can MF players force the ball back
