My #SundayShare is a defending session borrowing from the whole-part-whole method. Play starts with 3 v 3s. The channels are used as reference points but players can go where they wish. Then move to 1 v 1s in the channels. If attackers get into the box they are 1 v GK. Coaching points (group defending): · Movement: initial press to narrow space in front of attackers. · Scanning: where is the threat? Where are my teammates? · Communication: work as a group. · Positioning: protect the central area; use the channels as reference; keep a tight line. Progression (optional): create attacking overloads. Ended the session with a normal match where teams looked to play a back three and keep a solid defensive line (coaches transformed into eagle-eyed linos). Excellent session with the U11 on Friday looking at Block 3 topic: defending as a unit. #SundayShare The Sporting Resource AscCloud #coaching

My #SundayShare is a 1 v 1 defending practice. Coaching points: • Movement/positioning: first action - pressure: pressing the ball, slowing down upon approach; eyes forward facing play. • Body position: balls of feet, side on, low, ready to change direction. • Patience: delaying down the attack; narrowing attacking options? Decision-making: when to step in (tackle), when to back off, what side to show the attacker? · Confidence: in the tackle/contact. Progression: 2 v 2. One defender starts behind the attackers and is not active until an attacker takes first touch. Great session on Friday. That's a wrap of Week 5 in the U11 syllabus. #SundayShare The Sporting Resource #1v1

My #SundayShare is 2 v 1 practice looking at forward passing and movement to receive. A key task is off the ball movement - players must time their run to receive in the central channel (which defenders cannot enter) to progress to the final third. Coaching points: · Positioning to receive: ideally on the half turn. · Movement off the ball: looking for space and angles to receive. · Decision-making: timing of runs and the pass. · Technique – weight of pass; also angle. · Creativity: core moves, especially blind side runs, diagonal run/straight ball and vice versa. Progression: 2nd defender can enter the zone. Nice first pre-season session with the U11 on Fri. #SundayShare The Sporting Resource #2v1
