SP T2

Set up - Opposition will start with the ball with forward having two touch to score. If goal is scored then coach will release a ball to the goalkeeper to play or if saved then we will play of second phase. Once phase is done then coached team will receive ball via goalkeeper to break out and play. 

Opposition - Can apply pressure but not tackle

Conditions: Coach team get 3x goals for scoring in centre goal. 

Terminal 2 Units & Responsibilities:

Team will start compact as out of possession and shadow forward as he shots. When GK has possession of the ball they will look to get into an attacking shape in transition as previous terminal. 

Primary:

Goalkeeper- Quick assessment for transition to play, Distribution (Hands/Feet) primary area centrally to break lines play into midfielders.

CBs- Drop in to receive from goalkeeper, Can they play into spare midfielder or drive into midfield to create overload.

FBs- Get high and wide quickly if played too can they play into MF. If marked wide can they move to invert central to receive to over load in the middle.

Secondary:

MFs- Look to be the spare player when receiving, Half turn scanning (Scanning awareness of pressure and can they see both the play and goal). Primary outlet in practice

SSG T2

Set Up- Coached team will play under pressure from a back pass to the goalkeeper from various positions. team must react and escape pressure to break lines or slow momentum of opposition press.

Opposition Management - Final third press, if regained in final third and score 2x goals.

Units & Responsibilities:

Whole team to consider can they find the spare player and relief pressure, counter attack if it is on without risking transition against them quickly. when out of shape, can team regain a decent attacking shape ball speed and player movement to escape high pressure areas.

Coaching Considerations - More repetition, Ball rolling time and physical load.

SSG Terminal 3 - Recap/Reassess Will include many transitional elements ball position, restarts (Throw ons, free kicks) opposition starts etc.
