Coaching Sessions

Attacking in the final third

Attacking

This session is aimed at encouraging players to attack with confidence in the final third. To play attacking football it is really important to train your team to attack, especially when opponents are sitting deep in their own half and space is tight. That means players need to find the right timing for passes, through balls and chipped balls, as well as deep runs and runs in behind.
