Session plan

Notes

The activities in this session provide various opportunities to experience transitions and counter pressing. In the 1v1 game, encourage players to get goal side first, then engage with the attacker. Adjust the start positions based on age/abilities. In the 3v1, the activity switches grids on change of possession. Encourage the team in possession to expand, on the switch instruct the defender to try to close off options and isolate the ball. The river game is a classic - players moving back and forth between grids.
