Football/Soccer Session (Difficult): Intercepting PLays (Def)

Screen 2

5V4 with Golies (Intercepting and going to attack)

-Start by blue golie passing to blue and then they can go attack

-RED ST, can go anywhere

-2 RED CB must be inside the square before intercepting.

-Blues can dribble or score from anywhere.

-If red CB or ST intercept, then they can go and attack

-All Throw ins must be by blue, even if blue kick it out. (NO corners)

Coaching Points-

-ST must not go pressure at the golie (Leave to much space in the center)

-ST must only pressure when player receives ball on their back/ or mistakes/ or when ball is rolling

-ST must start by the Center for Opponents not to attack right away

-CBs must talk to check whos getting who (If playrs rotate)

-CBs always must check their back and be a little behind their opponent

-CBs must also be body positioned forward when ball at their side (to sprint to intercept right away )

- If CBs did not pressure fast enough (when ball was passed) then drop back wait for the help.

Screen 4

1st

When Blue Winger took the dribble to the right side (these below is a must )

-RED left Cb must know that he will pass to right blue winger (like shown)

-Thats the Que to presure and intercept

-Pressure must be made once ball left blue opponents foot

-If ran too slow/ or did not see that, then he must back out and press to the back of him(do not commit)

-AGAin Opposite CB and ST should be dropping back to center to limit all spaces. (Let them go back or help CB get the ball )

-Notice:ST can be outside the blue/ he should be coming back to help CB to limit all spaces/ and to counter attack
