Description
Phase of play- switching the point of attack after set off the strikers
Detail
Drill description and Key information
This diagram is not the true area size .
this was the best way of representing. (Further more if we had the facilities then this is what would happen).
The two central areas are 20 wide x 15 deep.
The 2 long wide areas were 15x 10 and the smaller 10 x10.
Exercise Aim.
Starting with the coach the ball would be played into the first middle zone. The midfielders would then have to play off the striker who would set the ball. From there the ball would have to go diagonal wide (changing the point of attack). The wide player would need to arrive in the zone at the right time and from there the ball would be delivered with players attacking 2nd 6 yard box. Once the ball was out of play at the goal end the ball would be dead and the coach would start the exercise again. Both teams are attacking and defending dependant on who the coach starts play with.
The strikers must come short and link the play but there is no receiving zone – I wanted to see if they could recognise the right moment which is vital in game situations. You could put a free zone in to enhance the productivity in getting the ball wide but in the long term the difficulty facing(strikers coming short), here is only game realistic and will hopefully speed the thought process up.
Could also make progressions- where midfielders could join in to attack the wide delivery but was looking how the session would develope and this could link into future sessions.
Key points
•Timing of front man to come short to receive (playing on the shoulder first of all).
•Movement to support the set- timing.
•Decision in technique to deliver wide.
•Quality of the delivery into the box.
