🎉 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! 🔥⚽️

⚽️ Dribbling & Finishing Circuit | 76-P2

This technical circuit focuses on developing dribbling, passing and finishing. Players will dribble between the poles, pass to team-mates and finally dribble through the cones and finish in a 1 v 1 with the GK. We have added a progression to incorporate 1-2's, increasing the amount of passes played in the circuit and increasing the need for concentration throughout the circuit. Let's develop strong technical foundations for our players! 🙌⚽️

🎉 1st Touch, Passing and Fitness | 84-P1

Developing strong technical foundations are key to improving our players overall game. This practice focuses on this, specifically looking at players 1st touch and passing & volleying accuracy. We setup by splitting players into groups of three, with one player from each group starting in the centre as the working player. Working at a high intensity in the central area and receiving with an open body shape to turn out quickly are key to excelling in this practice. 💪⚽️

⚽️ Build from the Back (433) | 28-P10

It's time to develop our teams confidence and ability to build play from the back in this phase of play practice. Our teams first objective is to beat the 1st line of the press and play into the floater who switches play into either wide zone. Attackers must then beat the defenders in the 2 v 2 using individual skill, quick combination play and teamwork to finish in the mini goals. Developing high quality press beating passing in the 1st phase of play can create great advantages for our team further up the field! 💪⚽️

⚽️ Compact Defending to Win Possession | 35-P2

Staying compact as a unit is the first step to stopping opposition penetration into dangerous areas. This Phase 5 practice focuses on the midfield fours ability to stay tight, force direction, win possession and combine to finish. The defending team have two options when possession is won: 1. Finish within 5 seconds or 2. Keep possession and combine with the floater to finish.  We have added 2 progressions to further test your defensives players shape in this practice. 🙌

This practice focuses on developing phase 1 - building out from the back when setup in a 4231. Attackers are restricted to their zones to start, with the objective to play into the target player to set the ball back for a finish in either of the two mini goals. We can progress to bring in rotations and unrestricted movement for the attackers, encouraging them to combine in different ways when building out from the back. Passing quality and off the ball movement are key to excelling in this practice! 🔥⚽️

⚽️ The Compact Defensive Unit | 19-P7

How well do your defenders work as a unit? Are they able to stay compact and force the opposition play in a certain direction? This defensive pattern focuses on these specific aspects of the game. Working on Phase 6: Defending the Goal, our defensive units objective is to stay tight and create opportunities to win possession and combine to play out into the mini goals representing 2 strikers. Let's get comfortable defending our goal and take this confidence into match day! 🔥

🔥 Defend the Goal 1 v 1 | 60-P1

How comfortable are your players defending 1 v 1? Do they understand the technical principles involved in defending these scenarios? This simple technical practice will work on these aspects of defending. We have a 1 v 1 defending zone, with the primary objective for the defender to get tight to the attacker and stop them from turning. If the defender wins possession, blocks the shot on goal or forces the attacker out of the zone, they are awarded with a point. 🔥⚽️
