🔥 The Mazy Run Game | 93-P6

Get ready for an exciting and dynamic small-sided game designed to boost your team's possession, ball control, and crossing to finish skills! To start, we have a 5 v 3 possession game where the attacking team aims to make a set number of passes before dribbling through one of the cone circuits. Once a player begins their dribble, two attackers make runs into the box to receive the delivery from the wide player and finish. If the defenders win possession, they combine and play through to a teammate in the attacking zone for a 1 v 1 finish against the GK. We can increase the challenge for the attackers by introducing recovering defenders to the game. This engaging setup ensures players develop essential skills while keeping the intensity and excitement high! 💪⚽️

This is the first practice in our "How to Play CDM - Phases 4 & 5" Theme, based on our How to Play CDM (433) Analysis.

This practice centres on refining our CDM's skill in gaining possession. It consists of two 4 v 1 Rondo setups where the central player aims to secure possession. An interception with possession retention earns 2 points, while intercepting or tackling the ball out of play awards 1 point. Following each interception, the two working players swap roles. The player with the highest point tally at the end of the set time period wins! 💪⚽️

🔥 Switch Play Possession Game | 83-P5

This dynamic practice is set in an hourglass-shaped area, and focuses on enhancing possession and switching play skills. The goal is for the possession team to complete five passes and connect with the floater before swiftly switching play to teammates in the opposite area. Meanwhile, three defending players aim to disrupt the possession team's efforts by intercepting passes. Should the possession team successfully make five passes in the second area, they have the opportunity to score in either mini goal. Conversely, if the defenders regain possession, they can also attempt to score in any mini goal. 🙌⚽️

This pre-season practice is designed to elevate your speed, turns, and dribbling skills with an engaging circuit setup. The working players will sprint out to a cone, returns to the central cone, then sprints to another cone before sprinting back to collect the ball. They repeat this sequence while dribbling the ball. Once they complete the circuit, they leave the ball at the central cone and tag in the next player to begin their run. This dynamic and challenging practice not only enhances physical fitness but also sharpens technical skills, ensuring players are ready for the season ahead.

🔥 Pre-Season 90: Speed Endurance and 3 V 3 Game

This pre-season practice is all about building speed endurance and developing attack versus defence skills when fatigued.

We start with two players sprinting across to the opposite corner, then touching each diagonal cone. Once they reach the last cone, they tag in their teammates, who enter the field for a 3 v 3 game.

The first team tagged in starts with the ball, attacking the goal, while the other team aims for the two mini goals. After three attacks, both teams exit, and the next pair from the opposite corner begins their sprints.

This drill not only boosts endurance but also sharpens strategic play under pressure. Get ready for a high-energy pre-season practice! 🔥⚽️
