Coaching Sessions

Controlling the switch

Defending

This session is about controlling the opposition’s switch. It’s designed to support players to face a team who are very good in possession, dictating play in the centre of the pitch with switches of play.

Attacking centrally

Attacking

Get your attacking runners playing through the lines centrally, then progress to get players ‘going around the outside’ and pinning the far post with runners in the box.
