Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): ATTACKING 6V8 (+ TARGET) CREATING GOOD WIDTH AND DEPTH

6V8 (+TARGET)

ATTACKING 6V8 (+ TARGET) CREATING GOOD WIDTH AND DEPTH

Organization:

Shape: 1*-3-3 v 1-4-3-1*

Start: ‘Target’ plays to any Red midfielder, Red's look to keep good possession, build up using the full width of the pitch. Yellow try attack and score.

If White win the ball, they try score by passing the ball to the ‘Target’ player or through either of the 2 ‘goals’. Red's’s must transition to defend quickly.

Focus points:

Create width & depth to allow space for build up

Good quality/selection of passes to create overloads through the thirds

Create space and options in front of the ball through good supporting angles and passes

Look for penetrating runs with or without ball

Provide quick support – no gaps between units

Maintain players at the back to provide cover and balance in case possession is lost
