situation.

towards the poles and crossing the ball.

In zone A, the objective is to score in the goal. In the B zones, the objective is to cross the ball through the

2 poles as shown in the diagram.

Progression: Defenders start from a distance of 4 yards away from the attacker (much nearer).

Off vs Def (25 mins)

Description

We will have 3 defenders, 2 centre midfielders, 2 wingers and 1 forward (3-2-3 formation) playing against 4 defenders (blue) a mid fielder and a goalkeeper.

The ball starts with the defenders and one of them passes to a centre midfielder, who then dribbles or combines going forward and passes to one of the 3 attacking players. From that point we have a 5v4 attack in the highlighted area with the players free to make the decisions.

Objective

We work on building up play, decision making and attacking in the final third.

Coaching Points

We want the players to make the right decisions to get in behind the defence and score a goal.

- Play starts with a switch from the right or left back. Combinations could be LB, CM, CB, CAM, CM play.

- Defenders need to determine which is the immediate threat and minimize it.

- Attackers need to play quickly and look to spread out the defense.

- CORNERS WORK ON MARKING
