Conditioned Game

Organization:

As above

Instructions:

White team attacks 3v2. Once ball crosses endline, the player who kicks it must touch the goal before they can enter the game again. When the ball crosses the endline (goal, goalkick, corner) the defending team is off and the next pair of attackers bring a new ball into play, attacking 2v3 (including the recovering defender). If the ball goes out over the sideline both teams are off and the new ball is brought on by team who should have possession.

Coaching Points:

- Speed of thought in transition

- Speed of reaction

- Communication between defenders

- Ability to find defensive shape quickly (pressure, cover, balance)

- Speed of transition between roles of first defender and second defender

- Recognizing when to press and when to delay (numbers down)

Progressions:

Play to 3 sets of 4 minutes, switching the team of '2s' each time.

Conditioned Game

Organization:

As above

Instructions:

Blue (A) dribbles the ball and stops it in front of White (C). A must touch the post before then joining the game. Two white players (C and D) look to attack and score in small goal. B defends and looks to delay attack until A gets back to help. Blue team are looking to win ball and counter to big goal. Play until a goal is scored or ball goes out of bounds.

Coaching Points:

Role of B (delay):

- Deny direct penetration (goal)

- Quick footwork

- When/when to delay (numbers down)

- When to step to win the ball (poor touch, out of feet)

Role of A (recover):

- Speed of recovery

- Where to recover to (most direct route to get goal side)

- Organization when recovered (who presses, who covers)

- Communication between two

- Transition to attack if ball is won.

Progressions:

Swicth attackers and defenders every 2 minutes.

Play 3 rounds each, most goals wins.
