⚽️ Possession, Agility & Finishing | 24-P8

It's time to turn quality possession into goals in this wave practice! We setup by creating a 3 v 3 + 2 possession area, with the objective for the attacking team to make 8 passes, triggering a 3 v 2 attack. The three losing defending players left behind must perform 20-yard shuttle runs and move through the ladders before the game restarts, while the two extra attacking players receive a ball and must make 20 quick passes between themselves. Players must focus on speed to exploit the overload in attack, passing quality and movement to maintain possession and clinical finishing in the final third. 🔥⚽️ 

🔥 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!

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! 💪⚽️

It's time to work on our players finishing and ability to beat defenders in 1 v 1's in this technical practice. We have two linked areas in this practice. In the first area, players will go up against defenders in  1 v 1’s , with the objective to finish in either mini goal. If they finish, they can move to the 2nd area in this practice where they will receive a set from the coach and finish past the goalkeeper on one or two touches.

⚽️ Triangle Passing Combinations | 61-P2

Short sharp passing is key to playing out in tight areas or when looking to keep possession in other parts of the field. This simple practice focuses on developing players passing and moving within a triangle setup. 3 players will move between the outside cones, creating angles for support and keeping possession away from the pressing defender. Movement to create good passing angles, passing accuracy and communication are key to excelling in this one! ⚽️🔥

🔥 Defending the Switch of Play | 39-P13

How well do your defenders react to a switch of play? Are they able to get into position quickly to defend the cross? These are the key aspects that will be focused on in this advanced lead practice. We have two areas that will run simultaneously, needing players to be switched on to maintain the flow and level of the practice. Defenders must press and cover as a pair, focus on getting first contact on the wide deliveries and adjust their positioning based on the flight of the ball. Let's build our defensive solidity! 💪

🎉 Technical Passing & 1 v 1 Defending | 68-P3

Let's take a look at how we can develop our teams technical passing ability, speed and 1 v 1 defending in this practice. We have two main areas in this practice. Firstly, we have the technical passing combination involving 1-2 combinations and sets. Simultaneously, a defender will sprint to touch the cones and enter the playing area to defend the goal. Defenders body shape and distances are key to winning possession while attackers must focus on using sharp movements and individual skill to beat the defender and finish! ⚽️💪
