Coaching Sessions

Movement to receive the ball

In Possession

This session is all about encouraging players to constantly make angles to get on the ball. It’s about providing space for others and options for the player in possession.

Creating overloads in tight spaces

Attacking

This training session is all about creating overloads in tight spaces when in possession. Three is the magic number here and this session encourages players to use the three-player support system to create overloads.
