Organization:

Half field or little longer, same set up as above. When the team has two goalkeepers, play with two large goals. The team to coach plays in 1-4-2-1 formation, the other team in a 1-4-1 formation.

Coaching Points:

Attacking Team:

• 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.

• Always receive the ball with backfoot to open up.

• Look to go forward on first touch. If not possible, bounce the ball back, or when dribbling, use a turn to go back.

• Value the ball.

• Central defenders (#4 and #5) tilt (drop) a little bit when the other central defender has the ball.

• Switch play, break 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 furthest foot to open up.

Team Defending:

• #9 makes an L-Run, #11 and #7 start pinched in and invites 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 of passing lane forward.
