Next week is a tough week for my team. We play 3 games in 7 days: tomorrow, Wednesday and Saturday. I want to keep the training sessions high quality, but I am worried the players will be burnt out for the games. Any advice on how to proceed and what sessions I should focus on would be greatly appreciated. We are a senior women's team and we train Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday.

🔥 Movement in Behind to Finish | 82-P1

This practice focuses on developing passing combinations to create goal scoring opportunities. Three players execute a set sequence, releasing the winger in behind for a 1 v 1 against the goalkeeper. As players get comfortable, a defender can be introduced, intensifying the challenge for the striker to receive and execute the pass in behind. Precise passes and well-timed movements to stay onside are crucial in mastering this drill.🔥⚽️

🎉 Direct Counter From Deep | 08-P11

Engage in this medium-sided game, occupying a full half of the pitch, that focuses on direct counters from deep. The attacking team is organised in a 431 formation and the defending team in a 242 setup. Upon the coach's signal, the attacking team aims to combine and progress the ball wide, scoring within 20 seconds, while leaving only two defenders in the defensive half. Meanwhile, the defending team adopts a low block, focusing on regaining possession and executing swift deep counters to score within 10 seconds. Players must communicate to defend as a unit, time their moments to intercept and display quality decision-making when counter attacking at speed! 🔥⚽️

🔥 Pass and Move to Receive | 85-P3

This simple technical practice focuses on developing passing and movement to receive. Two players start centrally with the rest starting on the outline of the area. Players will combine in the set combination, focusing on one touch passing and timing their movements to receive. Once players are comfortable, we can introduce an extra 1-2 combination to the sequence to challenge players concentration and passing ability. A great technical practice that can be used as a warm up for your session! 🙌⚽️

🔥 Direct Counter From Deep (Low Block) | 08-P14

This 11 v 11 game takes place on a full-sized pitch and focuses on mastering the low block and executing direct counters from deep. The defending team adopts a 442 low block, while the attacking team lines up in a 433 formation. The attackers will start by building up play swiftly in Phase 1 against only two defending strikers. If defenders win the ball in Phase 2, it sparks a 6 v 7 counterattack. Should defenders regain possession deep in their own half, they seek the two strikers as outlets for a rapid counterattack. Midfielders and wingers provide vital support, bolstering the attack with numerical advantage.

We have a very promising centre mid.
She's strong, she reads the game well, but her passes are often over hit.
She's seeing the passes and the idea behind them is good, but she often over cooks them.
It's Ike she's trying too hard.
How can I help her to place the right weight on her passes?

🔥 Improving Final Third Combinations - 11 v 11 | 07-P14

This 11 v 11 practice unfolds on a full-sized pitch, developing build up and final third combinations. The attacking team, in a 443 formation, faces off against a defending team in a 352 setup. In the initial phase, a 6 v 4 situation challenges the possession team to create space and deliver a penetrating pass to their CDM (Blue 6). Once penetrated, the CDM advances to a 5 v 3 zone, aiming to combine and release wingers in the "No Pressure Zones" for penetrating runs and crosses. Inside the box, a 4 v 3 scenario unfolds, with attackers focused on finishing. If defenders gain possession in Phase 1, they counter in a 4 v 6 setup. In Phase 2, a 5 v 7 counter ensues, and in Phase 3, a full-field counterattack takes place.

🔲 The Dribbling Box | BM-14

Let's enhance our players dribbling skills and spatial awareness in this engaging ball mastery practice. Set up 5x5-yard squares (adjust for age), pairing two players per square with a ball. One player becomes the chaser, aiming to catch the avoider. The avoider manoeuvres around the square, changing direction to not be caught. Once the player is caught, the two will switch roles to keep players engages throughout. 🙌⚽️
