Advent Day 5

A break out rondo I’ve used a few times. Can be used for a range of topics.

8v4, defenders rotate if they clear the ball out the box. 6 passes then the attacking team can play a ball in behind for an attacker to run through and shoot. New ball played in immediately.

Advent Day 4

Another one focusing on the Create Phase, specifically the 10s attacking the half space.

X2 teams of 5 + 2 floaters (10s) who play in the half space and play 2 touch.

Normal game - progressions can include removing/adding touch limit, allowing rotations between channels.

Advent Day 3

A build exercise with a transition. Red team looks to build in a 7v6 to either of the yellow neutrals.

Once this happens the yellows with the blues attack the big goal in a 7v8. If the Reds win the ball back they can attack the 3 small white goals.

Advent Day 2

A bit of a classic which I enjoy using to either introduce basics of defending as a ‘unit’ or to coach more specific details as an individual within a unit.

Boxes are roughly 8x6 steps.

Red team looks to pass the ball between them and find a pass through to the ST’s.

Advent Day 1:

Setting myself a challenge to post an exercise a day till Christmas.

For Day 1, I am showing an activity I used last week for attacking combinations. After the warm up we went straight into this.

Red team passes to ST, once he takes his touch the defenders are live
