Session objectives

Create a free player beyond the first line and connect the next forward action.
Scan early, receive with a next action and recognize the advantage.
Transfer the same decisions into free 11v11 play and explain one choice in the review.

Create attacking shape Provide options to play forward Break lines to advance attack

Equipment: Two full-size goals, balls, two sets of bibs, flat markers and cones.

15-35′ / 20 MINUTES

Revisit the positional problem

Organization

GK, back four and pivot against three pressing forwards plus two interiors. Use the defensive half at full width, with two target gates just beyond halfway representing the interiors. Rotate players in the same role after each bout so all squad members practise.

Game task

Start with the goalkeeper. Find the pivot or fullback facing forward and pass through a target gate. If the press wins it, attack the full-size goal immediately. Restart from different sides.

Coach observation

The receiving player has scanned, moved out of the cover shadow and has a useful next action.

Blue: Northbridge · Sand: opposition · Solid: ball · Dashed: movement · Faded: 11v11 context

Roles to connect

GK / centre-backs: scan and choose through, around or over pressure.
Pivot / interiors: change passing angles and prepare the next action.
Fullbacks / wingers: coordinate height and width to release the free side.

Sample club session. Adjust space, load and challenge for the age group and players; all diagrams retain 11v11 / 4-3-3 roles.

Play through pressure
