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... show more

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

My #SundayShare is a breaking lines practice. Teams locked in zones look for opening for penetrative pass to a teammate for a point (waist high limit on passes). If intercepted, the other team tries the same. Coaching points: · Positioning: to receive both on half turn (in own area) and square to receive penetrative pass. · Scanning: where are the gaps? · Receiving: controlling with good first touch. · Movement: to receive and offset opponents. · Technique: firm push pass with follow through. · Deception: feint pass. Progressions: (1) players on two touches; (2) first time penetrative pass = 2; (3) after two passes, one opponent can enter the quarter for a 1 v 3. If they win the ball they pass back to their teammates and re-join their group. Formed first practice in whole – part - whole session with the U11 as part of Block 3 of the training syllabus. The part was 2 v 2 in a square connecting with servers and final game was standard match with constraint GK must play out from the back. #SundayShare The Sporting Resource AscCloud #coaching

#RugbyScoop | Here’s why I think this is an incorrect call: The tackle is complete. Gelant has two options: (by the way he is short off the goal line) - he’s suppose to place the ball and the tackler must release him (complete tackle scenario) - Gelant done not release the ball nor is he in a good position to reach out and score a try - look at his body position (also, you not allowed to have an extra roll forward once a tackle is complete) Morby - can be pinged on playing the Stormers 15 on the ground but first infringement is by ball carrier. You have to break it down step by step. First it’s ball carrier and tackler before everything else.

🎯AFC Ajax 2v2 Defending the overlap runs in the final third. 🔵 Blue attacking | 🩷 Pink defending ✅Set-up: ✔️Create a wide channel using cones. Two blue attackers start with the ball against two pink defenders. ✔️Extra players wait behind each group and rotate after every action. ✅How it works: ✔️The first blue attacker receives and drives forward. The second blue player makes an overlapping run to create a 2v2. ✔️Blue tries to dribble or combine through the end line. Pink defends by delaying the ball, protecting the inside and tracking the overlapping runner. If pink win possession, they dribble through the opposite end line. ✅Coaching points: ✔️The first defender applies pressure and slows the attack. ✔️The second defender provides cover and tracks the overlap. ✔️Stay side-on to see the ball and runner, communicate early, avoid both defenders following the ball and recover quickly when beaten. #CoachingTips #Tactics #AFCAjax #FootballTraining Ray Power SessionShare 𝗙𝗖𝗖 𝗛𝘂𝗯 | 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗯𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗖𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵 AFC Ajax UU™ Rob Porter Osku Partonen 205 Academy Breakthrough Soccer The Sporting Resource The Exchange Coach Jamie Birch Kevin Middleton The Coaching Family JUST COACH

LB Box Tackle Drill - This drill is designed to practice attacking a ball carrier from an angle rather than focusing on a heavy Oklahoma-style collision. - Coaches should emphasize "taking the air away" by closing the space between the defender and the ball carrier. - During the tackle, the defender should aim to take a leg from the ball carrier to bring them down. - Footwork variety is important, and coaches can have players start the drill by either shuffling or using a crossover run. - At the point of contact, defenders must maintain "same foot, same shoulder" positioning to ensure a solid tackle. - For high-quality contact, the defender should be close enough to literally step on the ball carrier's toe.

LB 1-2 Step Tackling Progression - Linebackers should focus on using the near foot and near shoulder when initiating contact with a ball carrier. - Players must overemphasize swinging their arms in an uppercut motion to generate power through the contact point. - A core fundamental is to get a leg and take a leg, which involves squeezing and attempting to lift the opponent's leg during the tackle. - Coaches should look for players to have their face in contact and aimed at the center of the ball carrier's mass. - After making contact, defenders should overemphasize driving their feet for at least five steps to finish the play. - The tackling progression moves systematically from static contact to taking one step into contact and then two steps back to build consistency.

Instead of constantly telling players to “play off two”… Build an environment that requires it. This 2 on 1 drill has one simple constraint: Get to two feet in the paint, then solve the problem against a help-side defender.

LB Tackle In Space Drill - The drill utilizes a reverse L-shaped setup with cones to force linebackers to work around obstacles while approaching a ball carrier in space. - A critical component of the drill is for the linebacker to aggressively close the distance between themselves and the offensive player before making contact. - Coaches should emphasize that elite linebackers must keep their hips and shoulders square upon contact to maintain leverage and power. - Players should avoid crossing their feet or "sitting in a chair" when approaching the tackle; instead, they must break down efficiently and maintain active feet through the strike. - The drill concludes by mimicking speed tackling techniques, where the defender focuses on getting to the hip and rolling through the finish. - This specific tackling progression is integrated into the regular season routine, with live tackling drills performed at least once a week to maintain sharp fundamentals.

Georgia OL Coach Stacy Searels - Angle Board / Down & Reach Drills Angle Board - Simulate the front side of inside zone double teams. Flipper w/ inside shoulder, keep play side arm free, eyes up. - "The biggest reason we have the board is so we don't crossover on the front side of inside zone. Anytime you crossover front side on inside zone you get split." Down & Reach - Work down and reach blocks simultaneously & finish with great effort - Down block = step foot to crotch, hat to the V of the neck, strong with my outside hand. Defender works to fight over the top. - Inside Zone Reach = DBL under technique, hat tight on the play side number. "Here's what I want to emphasize, are you getting them to sprint back. I want to create habits of giving effort. Create habits on a daily basis of giving effort."

Motherwell In Possession I've been so impressed by Motherwell's performance and style this season. After watching back their 5-0 win from Saturday, I noticed a few key themes/principles of their play in possession: • Principle 1 - attackers occupy the spaces between FBs & CBs. This keeps opposition FBs pinned back and allows for moments to exploit opposition miscommunication. • Principle 2 - the "tapered box" in deep build-up: 2 CBs with wide positioning; 2 CMs with narrow positioning. Allows M'Well to comfortably progress the ball forward using diagonal & bounce passes. Attracts pressure from St Mirren, creating lots of space between defence & midfield to exploit. • Principle 3 - the use of 1-touch play to change the tempo. 1-touch passing disoriented St Mirren at times and didn't allow them to get appropriate pressure on the ball. It was also evident, especially on the left, that only 1 player needs to hold width (Longelo), Slattery was given a licence to roam inside and create overloads in the midfield, making it difficult for the St Mirren midfield. I genuinely believe if they had a proper goalscorer in the 1st part of the season M'well would have been top of the league as they have consistently been the best side.

Houston is the #1 Scoring Defense in CBB the last 5 years & this year. #2: North Texas! No Middle Principles. They do a great job of ball pressure & forcing Baseline without blow by's. Any Post Catch/BL Drive, they take away Middle & trap with the Goalie. High Hands & Aggressive! They do a great job of "cracking back" on anyone at the rim and playing 2 on the Weak Side then rotating. P&R Defense: Weak in the Middle 1/3, Ice on the Sides. Under on DHO's then Ice on Re-Screen's. Bigs at the level and Guards dictate on the hip to 1. Not get screened & 2. Force them to the direction they want! North Texas is ELITE at one pass away swiping at the ball. Any dribble penetration they are going to swipe aggressive than get into the passing lane. They do a great job of using this to stop dribble penetration and get TO's on drives. Fun defense to watch. They fly around, play hard and are active at all times. Ross Hodge is an elite defensive Coach!

DB Box Tackling Drill - The drill is set up using a five-yard spacing box with a popup dummy positioned in the center. - Defensive backs begin the drill in a pedal and must maintain an inside-out relationship to the ball carrier to properly win their leverage. - When a ball carrier cuts back, the defender should aim for a chest-to-chest tackle with eyes positioned below the ball carrier's eyes. - Effective tackling requires maintaining three bends in the body and creating knock-back through overexaggerated leg drive upon contact. - To eliminate cutback lanes, the defender must track the near hip and stay behind the ball carrier rather than getting even or in front of them. - Coaches should emphasize a drive-for-five mentality after contact and encourage defenders to rip at the ball to simulate a takeaway.

Bobby Wagner only had five missed tackles in the run game last year. He's been one of the best to ever do it. What's the pattern? Even the best miss tackles, and it's almost always the same thing: the angle tackle. Runners are moving away and the helmet ends up going behind. That's where the misses come in. And it's my problem with the way we teach it. I see coaches drag dummies across the ground and the intent is to launch and roll. The roll isn't the technique. The roll is what happens when the momentum takes you down. If that becomes the intent, then all you're doing is promoting arm tackles. The order of operations is simple: 1. If you can't get your helmet to the near pec 2. You can't throw tackle to the outside knee 3. You can't stay on your feet You have to secure the waist before you leave your feet. That's the non-negotiable: not launching and rolling. Watch Wagner. His helmet is behind and he has to leave his feet, but his hands lock on the waist first and then he goes to the ground. He's not trying to roll. He's hanging on, securing the tackle, and the roll just happens. Then watch the miss. Full speed, helmet's behind, never secures the waist, and he goes right by. An arm tackle miss. Inside-out, near pec or outside knee. If the helmet has to go behind, secure the waist and then leave your feet. That's the order of operations.

Roberto De Zerbi is one of the best coaches on the planet 🧠⚽ He is crystal clear about what he wants, then turns those ideas into simple, repeatable solutions for his players. At the weekend, De Zerbi was coaching his double pivot during build up against a press led by a single centre forward. The key detail, the pivots must remain staggered. As the ball travels across to the opposite centre back, the opposition number 10 jumps to press. In doing so, the number 10 blocks the passing lane into one pivot as he moved. But the staggered positioning in the pivot positions creates the solution, the ball side pivot stays behind the first line of pressure. The opposite pivot drops at an angle to receive. A passing lane opens around the pressing player who jumps to press. The team escapes pressure and progresses through the centre. Giving players clear pictures, reference points and solutions they can recognize under pressure. You see the detail coached in training. Then you see it appear in the game. That is how effective coaching improves or aids decision making, problem solving and confidence in possession. Save this for and follow us for more. More available on our website.
