Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): MCAA568 Adrian Moreno

POSSESSION PRACTICE- 3 grid game (25 mins)

·       The practice begins 4v2 in the lower zone as pictured. Team A are opposed by two players from the defending Team B, and must complete 3 passes before transferring the ball to Team C in the upper zone.

·       Players on the team in possession are allowed a maximum of 2 touches.

·       The pass into the upper zone must be below the knees, as the defending team (B) will have two players positioned in the middle zone. They shift as Team A build up, to deny passing lines to the upper zone.

·       The objective is for the two Team B defenders to apply pressure against the four Team A attackers, as they attempt to recover the ball by forcing play towards the sides. Their two teammates between the lines defend in the second line.

The animation shows the movements when Team A is able to successfully transfer the ball to Team C in the upper zone.

·       The two Team B defenders in the middle zone jump to the upper zone to apply pressure, while the other two defenders drop into the middle zone.

·       If the defensive team (B) recovers the ball, they try to connect a pass with one of their teammates and switch the ball to the other zone.

·       Six blocks of work will allow each team of four play as the defensive team twice.
