Session plan

Notes

The session includes a progression of activities to build out of the back. The initial 3v2 requires the central play to dismark and play accurate passes with appropriate body shape. The interior players need to respect the cross-field switch. The 5v2+1 can be executed as shown or add additional central players (for example, 5v3+2) to increase difficulty. The 9v9 build out encourages the use of half-spaces at midfield to target movement through the thirds. The midfield can be adjusted (shown as 1 attacker, 2 defenders) to increase/decrease challenges.
