Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): STG01 PSP1 TECHNICAL (Start Time: 13-Nov-2023 17:00h)

Warm up + Agility/Mobility Circuit (15 mins)

- Dynamic Warm up

- Agility/Mobility Circuit

• Side Hops
• Hurdles
• One leg star hops
• Ladder
• Long hops 

Notes:

- Sprint Action follows the agility/mobility movement. Start focusing on "Action after the play", get players to move quickly after an action. Players can walk back, but the action and sprint must be done to 100%

- Focus on players getting deep and using quads for hops and jumps. Power comes from the quads, players must land on balls of their feet and use their whole body to create power. 

- Agility Ladder should be completed with chest up and head up. Look to get players to improve their body posture if facing downward. Looks to encourage positive body behaviour when moving or on the ball in a game.  

Sequence Passing Triangle

Variations:

1) Simple one two

2) Double Bounce pass variation 

Method:

- Player will bounce the ball once with middle player who will then peel off to a side of their choice. 

- The passer will take a touch before playing the newly positioned receiver, and will then sprint to the opposite pole. 

- The player now in possession of the ball will play the next receiver who moves near side to commit to a give and go before playing a firm pass into the next beginning player. 

Notes: 

- Work on firm passes

- Half turn when opening up around cone

- Give and go should be done at pace (Game realistic) 

- Bounce passes should be played with speed, player should be on their toes and ready to play quick passes to move the ball quickly. 

7 vs 7 (+1)

Variations:

1) BP: Must have 1 player in each wide channel and the top channel. 

2) Free play

Rules:

- 7 vs 7 + 1 floater which always help the team in possession, creating a 9 vs 7 numerical superiority for the team on the ball. 

- Overload created with middle players, they cannot enter the zones and must stay in the central area. 

- When the ball is won, players must send one player into the wide zones and the top zone to create width and depth.

- If any of the zones are occupied within 5 seconds of gaining possession, then the ball is swapped over to the opposition. 

- Players can be tackled in the wide areas and top zone. 

- The top zone player cannot score

- Outside players cannot pass to each other

Notes:

- Creation of width and depth to spread the field and create passing options. 

- Can players look to create diagonal passing options?

- Continued focus on firm passing

- Creation of chances:

• Pass firmness to avoid interception and to give the receiving player the best opportunity to play quickly.
• Can the players use the numerical superiority to create overloads 
• If the player in the top zone is unmarked, can we play him in with a long ball. Can we offer support quickly. 
• What forward options can the players create after passing the ball.
