Warm Up

counter attacking
  1. Players make two passes amongst themselves in midfield then pass it into the striker and all three supports quickly to exploit the attacking overload situation. Recovery runs by the defender (D) cannot begin until the ball has been passed into the striker.
  2. Begin with an overload and have two strikers against one defender. Have one recovering defender to help the sole defender already at the back but who is in a 2 v 1 disadvantage. This is a good start to the session as it makes it easier to gain success for the attacking team which is ultimately what we are looking to achieve.
  3. Time the break to get a shot in. Ten seconds maximum to score.
  4. Working both ways alternately. This is a good conditioning session also.
