Football/Soccer Session (Academy Sessions): Animation of Game Movement

Animation Of Game Movement (20 mins)

Attacking Final Third - Game Movements

Organisation

• 3 Stations - (A,B,C) Central Midfield and Wide Midfield
  
• 1 CF
  
• Area Approx. 50x60

Aim

• 1.  Ball is clipped into Zone 2 for the CF - vary type of passes as we want to work on the CF touch.  This Zone is between Defence and Midfield - balls played here have the intention of pulling the defenders out of position
  
• 2. CF gains control of the ball and plays the ball into Zone 3 
  
• 3. Central Midfielder move toward this Zone 3 to play a defence splitting pass into Zone 4 (which is between the Full Back and vacated Central Defender)
  
• 4. Wide Midfielder runs on and strikes at goal.
  

Start with an attack on the left then alternate to the right...keep alternating attacks.

After each go players move stations - A to B, B to C and C to A.

Change CF every 5 mins depending on CF at training.

Coaching points

• Passing Crisp
  
• Movement Sharp
  
• Finishing Clinical - Across the Keeper as in a game the opposite winger will be also making the same runs.
  
• CF - Control with foot furthest from the ball on the half turn depending on which defender you draw in.

These good habits will be the difference between finishing bottom 5 or top 5 this season - being wiser and smarter on the ball, more controlled and relaxed in possession will only happen if we have good habits.
