Central Rotation

Organization:

-Area 30x20 divided into 4 rectangle areas (15x10). The 4 rectangular areas consist of 4 mini-rondos, within a larger area to help players understand distances, angles and areas of the pitch to work in.

-7vs.4 with 4 x Attackers (Red 2, 3, 5 and 9) placed on a line of the rondo and remaining 3 x Attackers (Red 6, 8 and 10) in the central area against 4 x Defenders (Yellow 6, 8, 9 and 10).

-Only 1 x Defender allowed in a rectangular area at any one time, although they can rotate, and only 1 x Attacker in a rectangular area at any time, with rotation to be coached and encouraged.

-The Attackers on the outside (Blue 2, 3, 5 and 9) can move along the length of their designated line.

Instructions:

-Red Team (Attackers): Maintain positions and possession of the ball with the emphasis on going forward from Centre Back Red 5 to Forward Red 9, rotating through the middle.

-Yellow Team (Defenders): If possession is won, play to Red 5 as quickly as possible, replicates a counter attack in a game, or maintain possession 4vs.3 in the central area.

Coaching Points:

-Angles and distances between the Midfield 3 (game realistic)

-Timing of Movements and Rotation

-Quality, weight and decision of the pass (penetrate, play around or retain)

-Movement (Rotation) to receive

-Body shape to receive

-Angles, distances and combinations to penetrate effectively

-Understanding slow and quick play through the areas

-Timing of passes - ‘La Pausa’

-Use the 3 passing lines (in front of defence, around defence & through defence) to create opportunities to penetrate

-Passing options around, behind and ahead of the ball

-Communication

Progressions:

-2 Defenders are allowed in a box at a time

-Limit touches

-No restrictions in the middle

Alternate scoring:

-Add 2 goals 10 yared behind Red 5 and Red 9. Red scores by playing into 9 and bumping it back for a finish. Yellow scores by winning possession and shooting on goal behind Red 5.
