BEHIND LINE
Now, long balls behind defense.
Rules: set number of passes, allowed to long ball just behind the middle line, only 2 players can go through to recieve the ball behind defensive line, 2 touches allowed inside the final zone, transition.
Progression: 1 goal, 1 goal keeper, in a 2v2 situation ( or 2v1 if the player recieving the ball not allowed to score )
WARM UP
Here players should send the ball to one corner begore transferring with a long ball to the other side.
Progression: defenders apply higher pressure. Forwards are under the pressure of set seconds to finish. They could gain more seconds by passing the ball to a mate in one corner, who sends back to the same zone of play. This helps defenders as well to organize and mark.
WARM UP
Long balls represent an important solution in games. Long balls drills could also be not plane and not dull.
In this drill, team in possession asked topass the ball into middle zone. The player recieves it and sends a long ball to the outside player scoring one point, and another point scored when a long ball is performed to the other outside player. The drill starts with medium defensive pressure.
Progression, defenders could apply higher pressure while players in possession have to do their job in set seconds. A defender could block the crosses on each side.
