Hi Dale, yes for sure. We’re just focusing on expanding our pre season content this week and next, but will look to get some patterns in for this formation in asap as well. Anything specific? Building out from the back, midfield third, final third?

Hey Declan, I think everyone has their own preference but for me I would focus on Cardio with and without the ball in the first few weeks, mixing short (anaerobic) and long (aerobic) work. Small number possession games (2 v 2/3 v 3s) can work wonders for short sharp work and you can always adjust timings depending on what you want to get out of them (speed endurance also key). I would maybe leave shape work until at least week 2, possibly week 3 and then have a real focus on shape with and without the ball once you have a fitness base with your players. Hope that helps. 👍

The Back 4 Unit: Stopping the Penetrating Pass | 78-P5

Coaches, get ready for an engaging defensive practice! In a 25 by 40-yard area, we'll focus on developing our Back 4 Unit's compactness and ability to stop penetrating passes. The objective is clear: the team in possession aims to pass the ball around, searching for an opportunity to break through the defenders and score. Finishing in the mini goal earns teams 2 goals, while hitting the mannequin earns teams 1 goal. Embrace this practice to enhance defensive skills. Witness our Back 4's growth as they excel in compactness and deny penetrating passes! 🙌

🎉 Build from the Back & Defending the Counter | 78-P8

On one side of the field, we have our Back 4 and a goalkeeper, while on the other side, we have two attacking teams ready to go. The action begins when the ball is fed to the goalkeeper, sparking the start of our build-up play.
The defensive unit has the freedom to showcase their passing skills, using clever patterns to navigate towards the mini goals.

Build from the Back & Defending the Counter | 78-P8

Coaches, it's time to elevate our Back 4's skills in build-up play and quick transitions. Get ready for an invigorating wave practice! In this half of the pitch, our setup features a Back 4 and a goalkeeper in the main playing area, with two attacking teams of four by the mannequins. Initiate the build-up by feeding the ball to the goalkeeper. The defensive unit operates unopposed, using different passing patterns to play out into the mini goals. Once successful, the first set of attackers enters, launching a dynamic 4v4 counter-attack! 🙌
