🎉 Beat the Chaos to Switch | 50-P2

This practice emphasises enhancing players' awareness, first touch, and passing accuracy for our younger age groups. The goal is for outside players to link up with central teammates, who receive the ball, turn, and pass to their outside teammate. Central players must navigate around others in the zone, timing passes to prevent collisions. Once players are comfortable, we can introduce a rotation progression to keep them on their toes and moving throughout the practice. 🙌⚽️

🎉 City v Madrid | CB Stepping Into Midfield

⚽️ Midfield Shape to Stop Penetration (CDM) | 89-P7

In this CDM specific practice, we focus on building a solid midfield to block penetrating passes. The goal is for the two outside teams to pass the ball between each other, while the central team stays compact and aims to intercept. When the central team gains possession, they pass to the end player and switch out with the team that lost the ball. The midfield unit must communicate effectively, recognise moments to intercept and maintain compactness throughout! 💪⚽️

⚽️ Possession to Penetrate | 43-P10

Do your players need help progressing play when in possession? This phase of play practice focuses on this specific aspect of the game. The objective is for the team in possession to combine using the floaters to play through either gate and back through either gate to be rewarded with a goal. Once this occurs, the possession team starts with the ball back in the deep zone. If the defenders win possession, the the two teams switch roles and the ball starts in the deepest zone. Passing quality and accuracy to maintain possession, providing support in front and behind the ball and off-the-ball movement into space created by teammates are key points in this practice! ⚽️💪

🎉 Advanced Centre Backs | 52-P7

The modern game requires our Centre Backs to be comfortable on the ball and to start/create attacks by stepping out of the back line and into more advanced areas on the pitch. This pattern of play will look at different scenarios that we can use to work on this aspect of the game. We have three different variations, each working different combinations that our advanced Centre Backs can use in the middle to final third parts of the pitch. Let's work hard on the training field and watch as they patterns are used on game day! 🎉⚽️

🔥 Switch Play & Back Post Deliveries | 83-P7

This practice takes place in a full half of the pitch, focusing on a pattern play to develop switches and back-post deliveries. Two groups execute set patterns, emphasising wide combinations and receiving in the half space for delivery. We can enhance this by introducing defenders, elevating the challenge for attackers. Emphasise accurate, well-weighted switches, realistic build-up movements, and quality back-post deliveries throughout. 🎉⚽️ 

⚽️ Switching the Point of the Attack | 83-P12

This advanced lead practice occurs on a full half of the pitch, focusing on developing switching the point of the attack and deliveries into the box for finishing. We will work one group at a time, refining short passing combinations before executing a long switch of play to the winger, who receives on the run and delivers into the box for our attackers to finish unopposed. We incorporate three progressions that introduce active defending in the box and out wide, modify central combinations, and apply opposition pressure in the build-up. 💪⚽️
