1. Arrival Rondo

Objective: Improve ability to keep possession but also find second line (miss a player) and third line (pass through defenders) passes.

Set Up - 10x10 grids with either 4 (3 v1) or 6 (4 v 2) players

Rules - When a players causes possession to be lost (Defender gets the ball or the ball goes out of play) the player replaces a defender in the middle.

Coaching Points:

In Possession (Attackers)

Good movement off the ball to provide the player with the ball passing options.
Good movement off the ball to draw the defender to create more space for the team mate with the ball.
Quick pass when a team mate is free as moving the ball quickly tires the defence quickly.
Good Quality Passes - 1st line (closest team mate), 2nd line (Miss the closest team mate) and 3rd line (Play to though defenders to a team mate at the other side of the grid) passes.

Defenders

Positional Intelligence - Optimum position to cut out the pass and pressure the player with the ball
Team work (when defending with a partners) - Optimum positions to cut to hem in the player with the ball and cut out passing options
Decision Making - When to stand a player up and when to try and nick the ball
Defending Stance - Low centre of gravity. Watch the ball rather than the player.

Dribble, Turn & Pass 1

1. The progression from last weeks 1 v 1 Dribbling & Turning drill moves into this weeks 2 v 2 Dribbling, Turning & Passing drill.
2. Can score in either goal as long as both attackers are in the same half

3. The teams must also make one pass between each other.

Coaching Points

Disguise the movement - Slow to Explosive

Use of Body

Shield the ball
Use the body to get the opponent off balance with slight nudges

Movement - Check Out, Check In, and visa versa

The Bounce - Use the coach as a wall to help get space and body shape (side on)

1st Touch - Can we create space with the 1st touch?

Quality and Weight of the pass

Movement off the ball into Space

Timing of the movement off the ball. Not too early as defender will follow and you will lose the space.

Play Through Central Areas 1

1. Two equal teams but may introduce a Joker in the red central area.

2. The goal must go through the central area to score a goal
3. Players in the central area cannot leave the zone

Coaching Points

Quality of the link up play

Timing of movement into space of players off the ball - Not too early!

Create Space - Movement off the ball tends to drag defenders and creates space even if the player doesn't receive the ball

Quality of pass to break defensive lines - Weight, Direction and Vision
