- Age U6 - U13, U14 - U19
- Training Set Progression, Main point
- Number of Players 1 - 5 players, 6 - 9 players
Setup
Four players (blue A and B defenders / red C and D attackers) are positioned on the field as shown in the diagram. The ball is with player C.
Procedure
The exercise starts with a pass from player C to player D, who immediately starts dribbling forward. At the same time, player B leaves his defensive position and pressures player D. A shifts toward B's defensive position. Directly after his pass to D, C overlaps player D. As soon as he is level with the player, C plays the ball into his path. Now B marks the player on the ball D, and A tucks in further to the side and clearly offset behind, so he can intervene at any time. The defenders do not follow the attackers' position swap but only hand off. The exercise ends as soon as the defenders are beaten.
Tip
- At the beginning, the strikers should run at the defenders at a moderate pace to give them the opportunity to coordinate their movement patterns as often as possible. - The pace should be gradually increased. - The lateral distances between players at the start are approximately 7-12 m. - The player pairs face each other at approximately 15 m distance. - Defender A stands approximately 5 m laterally offset behind player B. - C overlaps D as soon as the ball has left his foot. - Ensure precise and powerful passing. - 1 full-size goal(s)
