Defending team plays in a 1-3 shape with the 10, 7, 9 and 11. Every build up starts with the goalie, who rolls or passes the ball to 4 or 5.
Coaching Points:
Attacking:
-
Movement as in W-passing.
-
Look to go forward and score,
-
Value the ball, be patient, keep ball possession.
-
Outside backs (2 and 3) go low or high depending on which central defender has the ball.
-
Receive the ball always with back foot to open up.
-
Look to go forward on first touch. If not possible, bounce the ball back. When dribbling, use a turn to go back.
-
Central defenders (4 and 5) tilt when the other central defender has the ball. Switch play, break the vertical line (BVL) or find midfield. Dribble the ball in when possible.
-
Midfielders (6 and 8) go high/low depending on which central defender has the ball. Pass or turn.
Technique:
-
Pass with the correct speed to the correct foot.
-
Receive with the furthest foot to open up.
Team Defending:
-
9 makes an L-Run; gets in between the central defenders and then presses the ball.
-
11 and 7 start pinching in and invite a pass from the central defender to the outside back. Pressure ball at that moment. Do not pressure the central defender.
-
Midfielder slides over to the side of the ball and picks up 6 or 8 or cuts off the passing lane forward.
