⚽️ Wingers Dribbling & Control | 38-P3
This technical practice focuses specifically on our wingers, developing their dribbling skills, enhancing directional first touches, and bolstering their ability to drive forward while maintaining possession. Players will rotate through the circuit individually, engaging in dribbling, passing, and dynamic ball control. Once a player completes their circuit run, the next player takes over, ensuring continuous development and momentum.🔥⚽️
⚽️🔥 How to Play Full Back - Phase 1
Do you need help playing or coaching your full backs? In this position specific video we delve into the critical role of full backs during Phase 1 build-up play, emphasising their pivotal role in initiating attacks from the defensive third. Focusing on the nuances of positional awareness, decision-making, passing precision, and effective communication, this tactical guide equips full-backs with the tools needed to navigate pressure, provide width, and seamlessly transition possession from defence to attack. By mastering these fundamentals, full-backs become linchpins in their team's strategic approach, unlocking avenues for fluidity and creativity in the build-up phase.
⚽️ Defending Against Overloads | 60-P5
Dive into an intense practice developing defensive organisation against attacking overloads. A pass into the striker triggers the action, with a 3 v 2 attacking overload taking place. The objective is for the defenders to work as a unit to win possession and play out into the mini goal, simulating playing out to the CDM. Attackers must use their numerical advantage to penetrate the defensive unit, looking to finish in either of the two mini goals. We have added two progressions to increase the challenge for players and change the dynamic of their attacking and defensive play. 💪⚽️
🔥Defend the Zones | 60-P2
Let's challenge and refine our players' defensive capabilities and decision-making in possession with this targeted practice. In this 3 v 3 + 2 setup, the team in possession must combine with floaters to receive the ball in either the wide zones ( 1 Goal ) or the end zone ( 3 goals ). If the defenders win the ball, they become the possession team. Defenders need to be sharp, potentially having to sacrifice one goal to stop the opponent from getting 3! After the set period, the team with the most goals wins. 💪⚽️
🎉 Transitional Rondo | 88-P5
This transitional rondo focuses on pressing to regain, maintaining possession and exploiting numerical overloads. We have three zones, each with different overload scenarios, with the primary goal for the team in possession to break lines and advance to the next zone. The central players are tasked with seamless combination play, aiming to advance the ball and ultimately connect with the designated floater in the third zone, earning them a goal. Let's refine our players pressing, possession, and tactical decision-making skills, fostering a well-rounded and adept team ready for the challenges on the field! 🔥⚽️
🔥 The Activation Square | Warm Up ( WU-32 )
We kickoff this week with a warm-up designed to prime players for the upcoming session, focusing on elevating their dribbling and passing skills. Players will dribble forward to the central square, leave the ball, run anticlockwise to collect another ball and pass it back to the next player in line. To elevate this warm-up, incorporate 1-2 combinations with middle players, increasing the amount of passes played, and to ensure our players remain alert. 🙌⚽️
⚽️ WM/FB Combinations & Recovery | 62-P4
It's time to get our wide players combining and performing recovery runs in this high intensity practice. We have two groups working at the same time, with the player finishing in the 1st area transitioning quickly to defend vs the attacker in the 2nd area in a 1 v 1 scenario. Speed of recovery runs, finishing accuracy and passing weight are key coaching points in this one. 🔥⚽️
🎉 Pass, Set and Move | 84-P5
Let's get our players activated with this excellent technical passing combination! Players will work through the sequence, playing sharp one and two touch passes, setting the ball for teammates and timing their movements to receive. Once players are getting into a good flow, we can introduce 1-2 combinations to increase the amount of passes in the sequence. 💪⚽️
⚽️ Developing the Midfield 3 | 77-P5
Here we have a 3 v 3 + 3 Rondo based practice that is focused on developing central midfielders ability to maintain possession when under pressure. The objective is for the three central players to combine with their three outside team-mates and make 10 passes earning the team a goal. If the defenders win possession, the roles are reversed with the the possession team now becoming the defenders. Short sharp combination play, positional awareness and communication are key to excelling in this practice! 💪⚽️
