DEVELOPMENT PHASE 2

Timing Forward Runs

5v5 in the middle replicating the front 3 and 2 midfielders behind, you can introduce the GK playing as the holding mid to play back to if you want to add that as a progression that you can use the GK in your build up.

The aim is to play a player though on goal (onside, use the line or just the last defender as more game like)


DEVELOPMENT PHASE 1

Timing Forward Runs

3v3 plus two wide players and your goalkeeper

Adaptations to this exercise:

-3 passes before you can play forward
-Through ball must be played by a wide player
-Or through ball can be played by anyone
-One touch to finish after through ball
-If you win the ball from the other team you can play forward immediately
-Progress to defenders can recover back to stop the goal
-Progress to the offside line becomes the last defender and not the line to make it more game realistic


INTRO

Timing Forward Runs

Coaching:

-Check away from the space you are looking to attack, always scan to be aware of the defender and where he/she is looking
-Turn feet and body early to face forward
-Indicate where you want the ball to be played with hand signals
-Time run to receive the ball without having to slow down

Progression:

-Once the ball is played add pressure from behind to ensure shots are taken early
-Both teams tace to score first to improve speed of play
-When playing the forward pass between the full back and centre back, once the passer touches the ball allow the full back to then come alive and try and stop the through ball


TEAM RACE SWITCH TO 1V1

Race: Switch of play then 1v1 to goal. first team to score wins, if the defender can win the ball and drive forward to score a goal his team get an additional point


SWITCHING PLAY TRAINING SESSION

6v6 game using the central boxes as reference points for the 2 cms to support the switch by giving good angles.

cms play 2 touch


COMP 1

6v4 as before the middle players need to move as the ball is moving and make sure they are always in opposite boxes

progression: players play two touch max, if defenders win ball they can score in either goal


WARM UP

yellows switch there ball as do greens, both need to make sure their central players are always in diagonally opposite boxes from each other. red players switch their ball using any central players that are available for a pass

progression: add a defender in the middle trying to win a ball


GAME

5v5 in the middle with the players trying to play into striker then support him. 3 can support like the drill and once the ball goes into the strikers area the defenders can recover


DEVELOPMENT

Passing pattern as before leading to a four v two with two recovering defender
