🔥 Winger/Fullback Driving Down The Line | 1 to 1-P13

How comfortable are your players with progressing play forward when in wide areas? This individual practice focuses specifically on our wingers and fullbacks ability to take a touch and drive down the line. The player starts with the ball and passes centrally to the coach. The coach will pass the ball back for the player to receive on their back foot and drive forward. Once they reach the cone, they can play a pass/finish into the mini-goal. Passing accuracy, sharp movements to receive on the back foot and maintaining control are key points in this one! 🤝⚽️

🔥 Supporting the Counter Attack | 49-P10

Experience a dynamic practice centred on winning possession and executing lightning-fast counter-attacks! Two teams start outside the rondo zone, while two defenders aim to win possession in the middle. The remaining teammates engage in shuttle runs, ready to support once possession is won. Players will pass out wide through the gates, setting up a wide player to deliver a cross for a 2 v 1 opportunity in the box. Working together as a pair to win possession, passing weight into space for the winger to receive in stride and speed from attacking players to support the attack are key coaching points in this one!🔥⚽️

🎉 Quick Transitions to Defend | 37-P9

How often do your team concede goals because they are too slow to transition after possession is lost? This functional practice looks at developing this important aspect of the game. We start with the defenders in possession, looking to hit the 6 pass objective before playing into the target player to earn them a goal. If the attackers win possession in the central area, they must play wide to one of the wingers to deliver into the box where we have a 4 v 4 scenario. Defenders need to be sharp in transition, organising, communicating and scanning to see where the attackers are running. Let's defend the goal with purpose! 💪⚽️

🧠 Process Information, Dribble & Finish! | 1 to 1-P12

Processing game information quickly and reacting to this is a crucial part of developing into a top player. This individual practice focuses on this aspect of the game as well as dribbling and finishing. Coaches will call a cone colour and goal number before feeding the ball to the player. The player must process this information and dribble around the specific cone and finish in the correct goal. We can mix things up by having the coach call for a big goal finish, triggering the player to sprint with a ball and finish past the goalkeeper at the end of the area! 💪⚽️

Short sharp passing is key to playing out in tight areas or when looking to keep possession in other parts of the field. This simple practice focuses on developing players passing and moving within a triangle setup. 3 players will move between the outside cones, creating angles for support and keeping possession away from the pressing defender. Movement to create good passing angles, passing accuracy and communication are key to excelling in this one! ⚽️🔥

🔥 The Finishing Square | 86-P3

This practice is designed to elevate players' first touch proficiency and finishing skills from varying distances. In the initial exercise, the attacker receives the pass, controls the ball within the square, and swiftly executes a finish. Transitioning to the second variation, the attacker receives a pass, and guides their first touch outside the square before delivering another precise finish. In the 3rd variation we introduce defenders to apply pressure on the attackers after they receive the pass. Let's enhance our players touch, composure, and goal-scoring prowess with this finishing session. 🔥⚽️
