Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): 5v5 +2N (animation)

Animation 1 (15 mins)

5v5 +2N

Organization

- Teams play 4v4 in white grid w/assistance from the two wide N's and attempt to get the ball to the target on the other side.

- Upon scoring the receiving target player (Yellow) either passes and enters or dribbles and enters the grid. One yellow player steps out the other side (becoming the new target) and the Blue target player on the other side enters while another blue player steps out (becoming Blues new target.)

- One defensive player can enter the zone between the white line and the red line to pressure the N.

- The N's cannot pass to the targets (to facilitate a crosses in the rondo.)

Coaching Points:

- Offense: switch the point of attack often.

- Encourage the targets to find players in behind the lines across the field and behind the defense.

- Defense: Deny the entry pass to the central players near the target.

- Drop as a unit and clog space at the defensive end of the field.

- Mark up the central players and deny them service.
