Positional Possession Practice - Pitch Format

Sportplan is a very helpful resource and I really enjoy the wonderful...

DESCRIPTION

This is an idea for a field setup to build a practice around. 

It is a field split un into thirds, and relates to how we want to play the game.

COACHING POINTS

Progressions/Adaptations

    • Keep player's locked in zones to begin with

    • Could progress to no restriction to be locked in zones but players have to keep shape (rotational movement, covering etc.)

    • Use fullbacks/wingers as outside player to help keep the ball

    • One midfielder can drop into defence to create more of an overload or to receive the ball from the GK to feet as DF split

    • One defender can carry ball out of defence and overload the central area

    • Forward can drop into midfielder area to receive deep (trigger for wingers to push on higher and provide penetrative options and push defenders back)

    • Midfielders can combine and/or make runs into the final third to support the forward play

    • Must play off forward player to go through

    • Could add wide player's outside grid

    • Could taper end 1/3s to promote diagonal runs in-behind

    • Could split thirds into various zones

    • Vary numbers, spaces etc.
