COMP 1

The build up is the same as the warm up but when the striker receives the ball they have a decision to make as it is now 2v1 to goal (striker and winger v defender). The defender presses the first ball on their side but lets it develop and then must run around the cones and defend goal side of the line.

Progression, work both sides. Add a defender in the box to make it 2v2 to goal


WARM UP

Ball is played wide to the full back who opens up to play the winger, when the winger receives the ball he bounces it back which is the trigger for the striker to come and look for the pass through the lines, from there the winger makes a wide run to receive the strikers round the corner pass and go on to finish on goal.

Work both sides, players move up 1 position on rotation


LONG PASSES

Playing longer passes.

4v4+1 (adaptable) with a modified pitch and rules to encourage longer passes. The team in possession must touch the ball in at least 2 zones before playing a pass into a coach who re-starts play by passing to the other team.

I found with this game there is lots of activity and players can still play short/sharp possession passes, but with the set up and rules it encourages more:

-Across field switches of play
-Long diagonal balls
-Passes down the channels
-The pass to score a point in itself is a long pass which would replicate a ball into the striker


GAME

Finishing on a game, each team has an attacking area that the opposition can't enter until the ball is touched in their by a player in the team in possession.

Meaning the opposition either need to be above the area which will aloow for through the line passes and runs onto the ball, or they need to sit off and allow someone to pick up the ball in the false 9 position.

From their coach technique of making things happen, being positive to go forward and creative to create chances on goal

Progression:

Free play


COMP

Playing as a false 9, in between opposition lines:

As before the defending teams players cannot enter the highlighted area until the player touchesthe ball, then play 4 v 2 with recovering defender to goal.

Progressions:

Add extra defenders or allow players to press inside the area where the false 9 is looking to pick up the ball

Coaching:

Scan as the ball travels, make quick decision weather to turn and drive or set the ball off to team mate and look to get back on it.

Be creative, take players on, look to play wall passes and if it opens up = shoot


INTRO

Individual training for the false 9, playing between the oppositions lines.

The ball is played in to the false 9, on his touch the opposition can enter the box (or chose not to and sit off) the player who passes the ball supports the pass to create a 2v2 to goal.

Have both teams going at the same time and to encourage speed of play have a competition to score first. Defenders who win the ball can go and score for an extra point, play first to a certain amount of points. Animation shows rotation of players

Coaching:

Scan as the ball travels, make quick decision weather to turn and drive or set the ball off to team mate and look to get back on it.

Be creative, take players on, look to play wall passes and if it opens up = shoot


PASSING TO PLAY FORWARD

Passing to play forward

game - 3v3+1 with the aim of hitting the target player and scoring off him/her

can minimize touches to challenge players


EXERCISE

Passing to play forward

Coaching as shown at end of animation.

Break down the technique of the driven pass and movement out wide. Also address scanning,especially as the ball is traveling to end player who must recognise where pressure is coming from and play the other side
