⚽️ Possession to Penetrate | 43-P10

Do your players need help progressing play when in possession? This phase of play practice focuses on this specific aspect of the game. The objective is for the team in possession to combine using the floaters to play through either gate and back through either gate to be rewarded with a goal. Once this occurs, the possession team starts with the ball back in the deep zone. If the defenders win possession, the the two teams switch roles and the ball starts in the deepest zone. Passing quality and accuracy to maintain possession, providing support in front and behind the ball and off-the-ball movement into space created by teammates are key points in this practice! ⚽️💪

🎉 Advanced Centre Backs | 52-P7

The modern game requires our Centre Backs to be comfortable on the ball and to start/create attacks by stepping out of the back line and into more advanced areas on the pitch. This pattern of play will look at different scenarios that we can use to work on this aspect of the game. We have three different variations, each working different combinations that our advanced Centre Backs can use in the middle to final third parts of the pitch. Let's work hard on the training field and watch as they patterns are used on game day! 🎉⚽️

🔥 Switch Play & Back Post Deliveries | 83-P7

This practice takes place in a full half of the pitch, focusing on a pattern play to develop switches and back-post deliveries. Two groups execute set patterns, emphasising wide combinations and receiving in the half space for delivery. We can enhance this by introducing defenders, elevating the challenge for attackers. Emphasise accurate, well-weighted switches, realistic build-up movements, and quality back-post deliveries throughout. 🎉⚽️ 

⚽️ Switching the Point of the Attack | 83-P12

This advanced lead practice occurs on a full half of the pitch, focusing on developing switching the point of the attack and deliveries into the box for finishing. We will work one group at a time, refining short passing combinations before executing a long switch of play to the winger, who receives on the run and delivers into the box for our attackers to finish unopposed. We incorporate three progressions that introduce active defending in the box and out wide, modify central combinations, and apply opposition pressure in the build-up. 💪⚽️

🎉 Developing the Switch | 50-P7

In this practice, we prioritise the crucial skill of switching play to exploit space effectively. Players engage in short passing sequences before executing precise switches to our full backs in space out wide. Our full backs will receive on the run before switching play again to the opposite winger, getting them comfortable playing these passes for when the opportunities arise on game day. We have two progressions to this practice that focus on our wingers ability to receive and drive and 1 v 1 duels.🔥⚽️

⚽️ Passing & Recovery Runs (CDM) | 89-P4

This dynamic technical practice is aimed at refining one-touch passing and defensive recovery runs,  specifically for our CDM's in a 433 setup. To begin, the 4 players will engage in rapid one-touch passes before swiftly sprinting to block or intercept passes from the coach.  Processing information correctly and speed to recover are key coaching points in this one! 🙌 ⚽️
