Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): transition in the middle third (defending to Attacking )

Warm Up

Rondos:

2 squares:

2 red players in the middle line are switching the ball from one square to the other.

once they switch, green player pressures at the player, and then another player from green goes to help.

Progression:

Blue Squares with no line in the middle.

Coaching points:

Pressure Cover Balance

And predict the pass before player passes the ball.

Check over your shoulder every 2 seconds to see where the possible pass goes.

Try to double team a opponent when he makes a small mistake .(Bad touch/ slow pass/ Slow dribble)

Condition Game

Full Field

9v10 

If Green crosses red line near the mid field, 2 points.

If red take away the ball in the middle third then 1 point and then if they go through the red line near the 18 yard box, 1 point 

-Another point for goal.

-They can score or by dribbling through gate or on goal. 

Coaching Points:

Let them enter the middle third, and Organize with the 3 CMS( 6,8,10)

Make sure 7, 11 come down to help and stay tight in the middle; If any player dribbles down the wing then, thats when you immediately press and trap players with the #2,3 

-middle must contain and keep the team balance, dont press to win the ball, just with one player. Very hard to win the ball in the middle, (Let them go to the wings)

Once get the ball, player who gets ball, make an easy pass to hold the ball. 

Quickly look for the pass, (#10, 8 , 7, 11 Should step up fast, look for the pass)
