Players engage in passing sequences aimed at advancing from the back and receiving between the lines. Players must execute well timed advancing runs and precise passes, ending with a 2 v 1 attacking scenario, challenging defenders and aiming for goal. Let's set strong foundations for our defenders to build on in possession. 💪⚽️

🎉 Pass and Press Activation | Warm Up (WU-34)

It's time to activate your players passing and pressing with this simple warm up exercise. We have a central 4-yard square which players will pass between, playing on one touch, two touch and executing short 1-2 combinations. After passing across, players must sprint to press, forcing the player to take a good touch to avoid interceptions. We can increase the size of the square and work in the opposite direction to add variation to this simple but effective warm up. 🙌⚽️

🔥 Break Lines to Exploit Overloads | 47-P9

This practice focuses on developing teams ability to progress possession between the lines and exploit attacking overloads. Initially, two defenders aim to progress play into the second zone while screened by the opposition striker. Once the pass is made, one defender advances to create a 3 v 3 situation in the second zone. Upon passing into the final zone, the three players from the second zone move forward to create a 6 v 4 attacking overload, with the aim to finish. If the defending team gains possession in any zone, they must transfer the ball to their striker to earn a goal. Let's get our team progressing play with confidence! 🔥⚽️
