ORGANISATION:
30 x 25 area split into 10 x 25 thirds
4 players in each – middle group to work as defending
unit
CONTENT:
Red keep possession in their third to create
opportunity to play through middle third to yellow.
Red and yellow can remain in position or rotate within
their area as they move the ball. (condition players
to do this to create more problems for blue as the
session progresses). They should also be
encouraged to play at a good tempo.
COACHING POINTS:
Nearest player press / delay – move as ball moves
Body shape
Organisation of defensive unit – cover, balance,
support
Angles, distances
Communication
PROGRESSIONS:
Players must remain in their thirds
Red and yellow – pass below head height, over head
height, run / dribble ball through
Blue can move into end thirds to press ball and tackle
