Field with 3 zones: ball circulation + stretching and stepping out of losing zone
Tactical decisions so the team in possession of the ball achieves width when attacking and become more compact defensively fixing distances for coverages and defensive support.
Defending Attacks from the Flanks
Being in a good position for defending a cross is as important as moving forward across the field in order to avoid a shoot. To create offensive situations to reach the goal’s rival in a better position it is the next step when attacking.
Conditioned Game: Pressure in middle block
We will use an easy condition that will make our players close the interior spaces in a better way, to not allow the passing lines and to do not let the defenders get right in shape to defend deep balls.
Offensive and Defensive Transition 3 Teams with orientation
A tactical drill of polarized transitions in order to make your players identify the risks depending on the zone they are playing. At the same time, we will train the ball retention trying to do it in the most high part of the field possible.
Conditioned Game: Gives and Goes and changing pace
To play at a different pace depending on the zone of the field where we are at that moment, is a good way for making right decisions and read the game in a right way.
6v6+ 3 neutrals – Positional Game – Specific for MCs
Decision making mental speed. Sometimes, the only thing we need to create a good offensive play is to move one meter or to turn 45 degrees. This is a drill in small spaces with a high tactical demand and a lot of decisions to make.
Numerical Superiority/Inferiority (4vs3, 3vs2, 2vs1,…)
To identify superiority and inferiority for a right and quick decision making both offensively and defensively is a really fun drill for all ages.
4 Goals: Engage rivals + Pressure after losing possession
It is really difficult to achieve an advantage when finishing a play. We will increase a little bit the difficulty in this game so your players, when competing, are able to find the advantage to finish the play easily.
Offensive Vigilance and Free Man
A dynamic and safe way for attacking is either to find the third man or to be aware of where the defenders are (offensive vigilances). At the same time, you will have to find the appropriate distances so your team not always pass the ball to the closest players but also finds the mid-distance players, with the objective of braking the lines. In this drill, the defensive players practice the moment of activating the pressing in a coordinated way.
Defense in middle block for interior passes
To defend the central lane is key, and, to orientate the rival so he can just play at the side generates an advantage in order to get the ball back.
