11x10 ATTACKING
TRANSITIONS.
An 11v10 is organised
as shown.
One
goal is placed on the 18-yard line; a line of cones is placed in line with the
centre-circle to create a 'Buildup Zone' for the (Red) Central Defenders.
EMPHASIS ON
TRANSITIONING TO ATTACK:
Play begins with a
pass from the Goalkeeper to either Central Defender (Red) within the 'Buildup
Zone' - the Strikers (1 + 2) may not enter the 'Safe Zone' to press. The
Defensive team (Black) must stay organised defensively and await the opponent
attempting to penetrate.
On winning possession
the target is for the Black team to play forward as quickly as possible - to
Strikers, to Midfield players breaking into space.
If the Black team
breaks forward no opponents may follow into / beyond the Central Zone - this
enables a free run to goal.
Progression 1: Central Defenders
may defend beyond the Buildup Zone.
Progression 2: Back-4 and Central
Mid can track back into / beyond Buildup Zone 2x8 minunes with stoppages for
coaching points / player changes.
Strikers must
constantly be on the move to create passing lanes and angles.
No long-balls flighted into space - first pass must be on
the ground to feet or space. Midfield players must
develop the ability to break forward into attack.
