Organization:

Half field or little longer, same set up as above. When a team has two goalkeepers, play with two large goals. Both teams play in a 1-4-2 formation.

Coaching Points:

Team in Ball Possession:

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 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.

Continue to value the ball. No unnecessary turnovers.
