⚽️ Corners, Crosses & 1st Time Finishes | 30-P9

Delivering the perfect corner can make the difference in tight games!

🔥💨 Pre-Season 82: Speed Rondos

This practice focuses on developing your players overall speed, possession and defensive work using 4 high intensity Rondos. One player from each zone will sprint around the poles and defend in a 4 v 1 rondo, with the objective to win possession. When they achieve this, they will sprint back around the poles and tag in a teammate to defend in the rondo. Players must focus on sprint speed around the poles, use one and two touch passes in the rondo and use their body shape to force direction and create traps to win possession! 🫡⚽️

All,

Looking to see if a filter can be added (unless I missed it) where you can choose the size of space you are working with for sessions?

🔥 Possession, Overloads & Speed | 28-P13

It's time to increase confidence in build up play, exploiting attacking overloads and developing the physical aspect of the game all in one practice! This advanced lead session is split up into three areas, each with a different type of possession set up. At random times, coaches will whistle triggering a 3 v 2 attack and sending the rest of the players out to perform sprints between the outside cones until the attack ends. Players must work at a high intensity throughout this practice! 💪⚽️

🎉 Beat the Press | 22-P10

🚨Let's get this Phase 1 Week Up and Running!🚨

This practice focuses on phase 1 and develops teams ability to beat the press and play through the thirds. We begin in the 1st zone with a 5 v 5 +1, with the objective for the team in possession to play into the central zone where they have a 2 v 2 + 1 advantage. Once they penetrate, attackers must make runs in behind to receive and finish in either mini goal. Creating good passing angles, using line breaking passes and off the ball movement into space are key coaching points in this practice! 💪⚽️

⚽️ High Press in the Attacking Third | 25-P11

It's time to get your players pressing high up the field to improve their quality of chances to finish. The objective is for the Primary Coaching Team, Red, to press to regain after the Gold team has made their first forward pass. If the team wins the ball, they must either attack quickly to finish or recycle the ball in a more controlled attack. If the Gold team plays through the press, they must play forward to the attacking midfielder, 10, who can finish in either mini goal. Press as a unit, force the opposition into traps and exploit winning the ball high up the field! ⚽️🔥

🔥 10 v 10 Possession Rondo | 42-P12

How well do your players keep possession in the second phase of play? Are they able to recognise when to rotate and move into the space? This 10 v 10 possession rondo focuses on developing these key aspects of the game. The objective of this practice is for the team in possession to make 10 successful passes, earning the team a goal. We will introduce rotations to the rondo and later split the pitch into zones to keep players thinking about their positioning and passes. 💪⚽️

⚽️ 4231 Technical Combinations | 54-P4

It's time to get our players passing and moving in this technical combination practice! Designed specifically for a 4231, this passing sequence involves our CB, FB, CM, and CAM with the objective to build play and create space in the wide channels. Once your players are comfortable, we can add a goal and goalkeeper on each end to allow players to deliver from wide and attack the cross to finish. Build a strong technical foundation and watch you players flourish in the game! 💪⚽️
