Animation - Possession + Finishing (20 mins)

Instructions:

  • 20x20 yard square with 15x20 yard end zone.

  • 4 squares (10x10) inside central space.

  • 1v1 in each zone.

  • 2 neutrals can float to create continuous 3v1 in each zone.

  • Aim to get to goal and finish.

Progressions:

  • Make zones fluid for attacking team and solid for defending team.

  • Once ball is regained, 6 second to create a shooting opportunity.

  • Neutrals have to operate in different squares.

Attacking Coaching Points:

  • Technical choice of finish - What affects this? Pressure? GK positioning? Weight of pass? Distance to goal?

  • Receiving players - Looking to play out of visibility and in passing lanes, in line/behind players - Why is this important? How does it affect defending team shape.

  • Anticipate/predict ball carrier actions - Read body shape and cues - Late deceptive movement to create space.

  • How can we effectively utilize neutrals?

  • Depth under ball - Backwards play can attract players - Creates space between lines.

Defending Coaching Points

  • When defending numbers down - Protect the goal and force ball into wide areas.

  • Adopt a tight, compact shape.

  • Bravery to block shots - Big physique.
