🔥 NEW SESSION RELEASE: Press to Defend!

If your players react slowly after losing possession, struggle to press together, or lack intensity when defending, today’s release is designed to help fix it.

Session 990: Press to Defend focuses on developing quick reactions, aggressive pressing, and teamwork to regain possession in realistic, high-energy situations.

The session begins with a fun evasion warm-up to activate agility and decision-making, progresses into a competitive pressing rondo focused on communication and coordinated defending, and finishes with a fast-paced small-sided game that links pressing to quick attacking transitions.

Suitable for U9–U11 (minimum 6 players), with each practice working individually or as part of the full session.

👇 New Practices Released:

1️⃣ Diamond Evasion Game | Warm Up (WU-47)
2️⃣ Press and Steal Rondo | 70-P2
3️⃣ 3v3 Defend and Attack Game (SSG) | 70-P3

The social aspect is a crucial ingredient when creating sessions for younger age groups - encourage team spirit and fun while developing technical ability and watch your players grow from strength to strength 🎉

Don't forget to increase/decrease rondo size depending on age group and level - simple changes such as touch limits can also impact the challenge level🤝

🚨 New Releases: Break Pressure to Attack!

If your players struggle to play out under pressure, force passes too early, or miss the right moment to break forward, today’s release gives you a clear structure to fix it.

Session 989: Break Pressure to Attack focuses on developing composure in build-up, intelligent combination play, and the awareness to recognise and exploit moments to break lines.

The session progresses from a technical passing circuit to build rhythm and clean connections, into a breakout possession game that challenges timing and decision-making, and finishes with a realistic phase of play focused on breaking pressure and attacking with intent.

Suitable for U15+ (minimum 12 players), with each practice working individually or as part of the full session.

👇 New Practices Released:

1️⃣ Technical Passing Circuit | Warm Up (WU-49)
2️⃣ 3v3 + 4 Breakout Possession Game | 36-P9
3️⃣ Break Through Pressure to Attack | 51-P10

A complete session to help your players stay composed, break lines with purpose, and turn build-up into effective attacks. 🎉

Playing out from the back has a purpose, draw defenders in and exploit the gaps to penetrate by finding free teammates. Passing the ball just for the sake of passing it is not the objective!

How would you adapt this practice to suit your teams needs? 🤔

If you have 12/18/24 + players available, don't forget you can always create 2/3/4 circuits so all players can work at the same time. Try your best to not have players waiting on the sideline if you can avoid it, especially young players! 🤝

That was probably the one stain on an amazing football match - even with that, the level of entertainment and quality was great watch.
