Improving Attacking Speed of Play

Measurement: 20 x 30 # of Players: 12 Level/Age Group: 10+

Description: Player 4 starts with the ball and passes to player 1 or 2 who each have a defender on their back. The ball is then passed back to player 4 and the attack begins. Attackers have 7 seconds to shoot.

Objective: To improve attacking speed of play.

Coaching Points: 1. Always ask your strikers if... they can turn and shoot themselves, if they can combine together to score, etc. 2. Working on receiving and setting skills of the 2 strikers. 3. Work on movements of the strikers when the ball is passed back to player 4.

Progression: 1. Defenders start from the end lines and can close the attacker only after the ball is played in. 2. Add an extra defender at the top of the drill (where player 4 is located) and after 3 seconds they can sprint back and help the 2 defenders to make it a 3v3 situation rather than a 3v2.

Cheers,

Team Training

Coaches,

Does anyone need help with their team training sessions or looking for drills that might help in certain team weaknesses.

Now that we have the blog up and going I'm hoping we can help each other. If you have done a drill or session that has worked well with your team, please share with other coaches.

Let me know what you think of the Clipper Blog?
