Positioning Play (Structure) - 15 mins

Session Organisation :

- set up in realistic section of pitch

- 12 field players in total

- 8 field players (4 backs & 4 mids) stand in attacking formation (4-1-3-2 variation of 4-4-2 diamond)

- 4 blue players act as passive defenders (strikers & extras as not needed)

Rules :

- ball starts with 11 who plays back to 5.

- as 5 turns towards 4 to play 4 the ball,

1. 6 takes the place of 3

2. 3 pushes over and takes the place of 2

3. 2 pushes up and overloads up the line by pushing 7 infield

4. 10 drops to take the place of the 6 to maintain structure

NB: repeat on other side

Coaching Points :

- Initial Cue for rotation is 5 turning to play to 4, triggering 6 to head towards 3 (on other side 2 turning to play to 3, triggering 6 to head towards 4)

- field position/body position & timing of runs

- 6 body position is to open up body to see both the ball and 4, and the right back position (where 3 has taken the place of 2)

- all other players to run by being able to see ball plus where they are going

- only 11,5,4 remain in same positions, 3/6/2/7/10/ all rotate

NB: repeat on other side where 7,3,2 remain in same positions, and 4/6/5/11/10 all rotate.

This type of rotation is usually best performed when opposition is pressing or man to man marking, to drag them into unfamiliar or poor defending positions.
