Attacking Choice: on the sides or from within
The choice between keeping the ball or switching the play together with a change of pace to progress through the opponent half will make your players smarter when it comes to tactics.
Third man and free man rondo
We adapt a rondo in order to practice the use of the third man and the free man as a microstructure to advance in the game.
Four squares possession
To achieve an appropriate players’ distribution in the free spaces, to switch the game successfully, to choose either checking to the ball or checking away… this drill will make you players think and take decisions.
Double Rondo
In this drill you will work on the change of pace, on passing the ball to attract de rivals and switching the play to the deliberated side and on choosing which the best moment for intercepting the ball is. All of these in a rondo that you can implement in U10 groups and older.
Reducir espacio, jugar a un toque
The creation of triangles and diamonds to attack is an obsession for some coaches (Guardiola, Nagelsmann…), here you can find a partial structure that will help your players to encourage that positioning.
Rondo with it sides divided in half. Unlimited touches
If our players, in an offensive situation, are capable of deciding whether to speed the game up or to delay it, it is one of the keys for a smart offensive football.
Rondo Third Man
A rondo with a small numerical superiority which will make our players play with the third man. Every time this third man situation is done, it will generate an advantage in the drill which will reinforce the learning of this concept.
Shifting, Pressing on the flanks
We will practice ball conservation, width, game pace, change of pace, shifting, pressing, coverages and defensive coordination, all at the same time.
Tricolor
During the offensive transition, your team will will need to begin looking for width, permanent support from the players, a good communication etc. This offensive and defensive transition tactical drill will make your team improve this exact momentum of the game.
Speed of Play and Mobility of the players without the ball
In order to help the attack, the free players have to make decisions too in order to situate in the best position. This drill will demand a high concentration level from your players.
