Description

Objective - Preventing Build up in opponents own half

During this session we are going to work on shape of a defensive line, movement off the ball, and we will end with an activity that focuses on the high pressure team.

We must come to understand that pressing creates scoring opportunities.

The boys must be pushed during this hour and half session.

We want intense energy and focus. If anyone cant handle it they will be done with the session and will watch.

SAQ Session (20 mins)

Session Organisation:

(1) Players start at the hurdles. Ensure that they use their arms to drive them and maintain high knees to improve speed and acceleration.

(2) The players then collect a ball and dribble them through the cones using quick feet and light touches using the inside and outside of the foot. Use arms for balance and keep your head focused on the ball and the cones.

(3) The players leave the ball in the shaded area and then sprint as quickly as they can to the poles. They sidestep in and out of the poles improving their agility, again light on feet and use arms for balance and co-ordination.

(4) When they reach the end of the agility run, the coachw ill play a firm pass into the player who then strikes first time at goal.

(5) The player runs back to the start and the process continues.

(6) Repeat three times, rest for 2 mins, repeat a further 2 times, rest for 2 mins, repeat 1 time then relax.

Coaching Points:

-Emphasise the importance of maintaining all the correct techniques of each exercise throughout the circuit, especially when tiring towards the end.

ORGANIZATION

FUNCTION DETAILS

Set up an area off 40 x 35 yards, split into three zones(representing defenders, midfielders, attackers)

Split the players as your back four, your Mdfs, and forwards on the third line.

Coach will serve the ball to the defenders, that upon first touch, the game is alive, the MDfs, are locked into theirs own zone, however they can shadow the ball movement, the players from zone A (defenders) will move the ball with the objective to break the line of pressure and find the final third. as the ball been switched to the final third successfully they will get a point, (3 BLOCKS OF 5 BALLS) then rotate the players

PROGRESSION 1

As the coach servers the ball, and upon the first touch, two players from the central zone can enter the zone A, and shadow it, as soon the players from zone A recognize the space, they will pierce the line 2 by playing to line 3, as the ball switch they will get the point, and the game initiate again on the opposite side.

PROGRESSION 2

Same as the previous one, but now the defender can tag the player with the ball, if the defender tag the player game is dead, coach play another ball to the other end.

COACHING POINTS

WHERE,WHEN,HOW AND WHY?

where to receive the ball - Why? ( away from the defender, so can avoid pressure on receive to turn)

When to receive the ball - Why ? (after creating the separation from the defender, by reading the trigger from the passing player, eye contact (communication skills) Social skills, if he/she goes to early he/she will receive pressure

How to receive the pass- Why?(body shape, back foot, weight on the pass) can have a better picture where to play, the pass, and how to play the pass, to soft they will intercept, to have the receiving player will need to have a extra touch to control.
