Pivot Playing from the Back

Excellent site with easy to navigate pages.

DESCRIPTION

Red team are trying to play out from the back and score into one of the 3 smaller goals.

The aim is to play through the pivot area (white box). One of the red centre mids has to lose their marker and receive the ball in that space. 

All 3 midfielders have to be on the move, as any of them can be the pivot players, not just the deepest centre mid. 

If yellows win possession, counter attack. Switch sides eventually.

COACHING POINTS

Off the ball movements and runs are key to making this work. Both centre backs have to be comfortable in poession and offer an outball. 

Centre mids need to work as a unit. If one drops to receive in the pivot area, another has to take up that players previous space. 

Full backs stay high and wide, but when the ball is in play, they have to be willing to drop deep, or make an attacking run.
