Team Shape Development in 9 v 9 - Training Center Exclusive

Here we show how team shape changes from defending to attacking to then how we start to interchange and rotate players. Distances between defending and attacking are bigger than most think. Players learn how to add fluidity and freedom to team play in terms of their offensive movements and how to compact themselves when defending.

Using the 1-3-3-1-1 is a progressive move to playing the 1-3-3-1-3 in the 11 v 11 hence I am starting with this formation at 9 v 9.
