Tues. May 8, 6P, Alimagnet We will be working on the skills of: Transition and Game Concepts **Warm-Up 30x40, groups of 3v0, passing and moving around the grid. use combinations. pass, then run and split teammates. **review: on D: we must pressure the ball to win back as quickly as possible. must have support. on O: maintain possession, move the ball forward if possible, support in multiple directions including backwards, keep the ball on the ground. **transition game. 2 20x10 grids each with a midline. In each grid: 2 teams w/ pinnies 4v4. Play 4v2 in one half of the grid, other 2 players in other half. If D steals, bring across center line and 2 opposing players follow to play 4v2 in other half. can also play 3v3. coaching points: players must communicate to know who is transitioning with the ball, try to quickly win the ball back, stealing team players must move and give good support, when ball is stolen must move quickly to other half. **Get Out of Here! width of half field with pugg goals. 4v4v4. Play 4v4, with third team ready to go. If the ball goes out of bounds, the team it was off of must leave the field and the outside team comes on, But the team remaining on the field does not have to stop playing! Team staying on the field can yell: "get out of here!". Play 10 min, then rest, then 10 min. coaching points: team on field must transition to O immediately to take the advantage, team coming on field must recover to D fast to avoid score. Communication is key! **killers **PKs **discuss gameplan for tournament. Questions: kickoff, offsides, free kicks (O or D), throw-ins (O or D), corners (O or D), goalkicks (O or D) - these will be reviewed next practice. Players will be put in positions that help the team - your favorite positions if possible.
