Organization:
Area: 30y x 20y
Five attackers play on ball possession while the two defenders try to win the ball. Defenders must either dribble the ball out of the grid or connect a pass with each other. This is a BLITZ moment for the five attackers. Switch defenders every 90 seconds or two minutes. Players who are resting dribble along cones or play 1v1.
Game: Give one point for 10 consecutive passes and for intercepted passes.
Coaching Points:
Technique:
-
Pass with the correct speed to the correct foot. Receive with the furthest foot to open up.
Tactical Attacking:
-
Outside backs (2 and 3) go low or high depending on which central defender has the ball.
-
Central defenders (4 and 5) tilt (drop) when the other central defender has the ball. Switch play, break the vertical line (BVL) or find a midfielder.
Team Defending:
-
Work together, work hard and put pressure on the ball at the right moment.
-
Make a positive action after winning the ball and keep the ball.
