Screen 1

The ball starts at the bottom two cones, players will dribble up to the line diagonally to them. They will stop the ball on the outside of the cone. As the player puts their foot on the ball the next player will step on and pass to the player on the outside of the gate who will open up to receive on the back foot. 
Once the player has received on the back foot and taken the ball behind the defender, the inside player will drop off and also look to receive back foot. 
Once received they will dribble back to the start. Every player will follow their pass. 

Detail:-

Pass (Speed, height placement)

timing of movements- (eye contact) distance they pull off? Short and quick movement

Difference between pass and set ( set allows actions to happen in-between e.g player to move in order to receive next pass)

First touch (behind defender, which foot? safe side? back foot?)

Body shape to receive. (pull off in line with defender, not in front or behind, if they're pinning the defender

 body shape- arm up, knees bent, strong core, front foot receiving) Hips open so they can see where the ball comes from and where they're passing.

Try and drip feed these into small interventions rather than introducing them into one intervention.

You may look at passing detail and receiving in one intervention

Body shape and timing of movement in another.

Breaking lines session:-


Players will look to combine in their area in this situation which is a 4v2. The remaining defenders must stay on the white line and can move with the direction of the ball to potentially block the gate. These players cannot tackle. 

The green team must make a targeted amount of passes before trying to pass through the gate into the yellow team. 
If one of the teams looking to keep possession lose the ball they become the defending team to work on a transition.

Progressions:- 
-If you lose the ball you can counter press to keep it

-Ball is not allowed to be played over 
-a third defender is allowed to come and press (analyse the risks with the group first) 

Key points for learning:-

3 ways to break lines 

Through, around or over 

3 types of breaking lines 

Passing, receiving and dribbling 

Attackers to look to receive behind pressure to get on the ball 

Body shape to receive 

Limited touches 

Out of possession team:-

Pressing triggers

  • Receive the ball near the touchline 
  • Bad touch 
  • Slow pass 
  • If a player is receiving a pass in the air

Screen 3

The match will be played with packing points.
Packing points is the amount of players eliminated by a single forward pass. 
In this scenario the blacks will earn 5 points as they have eliminated 5 players with a single pass. (This may be used for the older age groups for understanding) 

Younger age groups you may say if a goal is scored by playing through or around its 2 goals, if they play over its worth 1.
