Football/Soccer Session (Moderate): RHS - Improve attacking overloads out wide

Zonal Game - 6v6 (15 mins)

Setup:

Long, narrow field as shown.  25x25 middle; 25x10 endzones;

2 teams of 7

2v1 in endzones (2 CBs vs 1 CF)

3v3 in the middle

Activity:

Team scores by getting ball into center forward under control.

Team in possession can use supporting CBs (CF can pressure).

Progression:

+ Score by getting ball into CF and then back to a midfielder

Coaching Points:

~ Can I play directly into CF (skip lines)?

~ Can I play forward to furthest CM?

~ Look for opportunties for up-back-thru

Half-field - Wide overloads game (20 mins)

Setup:

Half field with 10 yard wide channel

2 teams in 4-3-3

Activity:

Normal Soccer rules but can only defend with 1 player in wide channels.

Coaching Points:

+ Step 1 - we need players to be all the wide to take advantage of channel (this is true in game too where defenders don't want to go out there)

+ Who can create wide overloads - #2/3, #8/10 overlapping, #9 making in-to-out run

+ Runners in box priorities - 1) near post; 2) middle; 3) far post
