THE SESSION:

Attacking Aerial Balls

- Players begin divided in to three teams of 4.

- Green team has a ball each on the outside of the square, reds play inside and blacks are passive until rotation.

- Greens serve the ball in the air, for red players to attack and return; volleys or headers.

- As soon as pass is returned, they must look for another ball from a different Green player.

- Run for 30 seconds at a time, then rotate groups.

PROGRESSIONS:

- Progression 2 (pictured above) Players now receive from a white player and look to redirect clearance to a green player.

- Headers only

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS:

- No bounce!

- Step to the ball, attacking and not waiting for ball to arrive

- Application of correct techniques

- Up and out

- Get "outside of the line" when redirecting

THE SESSION:

- Defending corners the Jurgen Klopp way

- 3 best headers of the ball zonal mark shaded area of the pitch (usually central defenders/tallest players - VVD, Gomez, Fabinho)

- Smaller players defend posts (usually full backs - Robertson, TAA)

- One player remains up field as an outlet (Salah)

- Player/Coach crosses ball in and blue players try to attack and score

- Blockers/MM attempt to disrupt attacking players from getting a run on the ball

- Gives stronger headers of the ball more space to clear the ball

- Players in shaded area mark their zone and attack the ball if it enters their zone

- If blue team scores they gain 5 points (2 points for chance missed)

- If they don't touch the ball red team gains a point

PROGRESSIONS:

- If red team wins the ball they can play back out to crosser who makes counter attacking run down the wing towards other goal

- Players must get the ball out wide to crosser who puts in cross first time or after dribbling

- Only 2 players can join the attacking outlet

KEY MESSAGES/POINTS:

- Communication

- Confidence in aerial ability

- Use of body when blocking or competing in the air
