๐Ÿ”ฅ NEW RELEASES: The Compact Midfield Four

If your team struggles to stay connected defensively, leaves gaps between players, or finds it difficult to regain possession in central areas, todayโ€™s release is built to help.

Session 994: The Compact Midfield Four develops a teamโ€™s ability to protect central spaces, move as a connected midfield unit, and regain possession through intelligent pressing and coordinated defensive movement.

Suitable for U12+ (minimum 12 players), with each practice working individually or as part of the full session.

๐Ÿ‘‡ New Practices Released:

1๏ธโƒฃ The Compact Midfield Unit | 35-P4

You can add a 4th phase to this one, creating a 4 v 3 in the opposite direction. You can take it a step further and create a 5th phase, aย  6 v 4 in the opposite direction - completely changing the dynamic of the overload and further questioning whether to attack quickly or take more of a balanced approach to the attack. ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hi Chip Smith,

The season plans are split up into seven mesocycles and each mesocycle represents a 6 week block in a season. Each 6 week block is broken down further into one full session a week for each of the 6 phases of play (Phase 1: Begin the Attack, Phase 2: Possession Questions, Phase 3: Finish the Attack, Phase 4: Press to Regain, Phase 5: Organised Defending and Phase 6: Defend the Goal).ย 

If you have two/three sessions in a week, you can use any session/practice combination from any of the other mesocycles, depending on which of the phases of play your team needs to focus on in that week.

Our base plan covers each of the phases of play to ensure squads with only one session a week have variety in their training, but you can pull in sessions from other phases for a 2 session training week e.g Session 1: Phase 1:Build Up and Session 2: Phase 4: Press to Regain as these two phases complement each other.ย Let me know if that helps and if you have any questions. ๐Ÿ™Œ
