Coaching Sessions

Defending the penalty area

Defending the penalty area

Defending
This is a session designed to focus on defending our own penalty area, primarily from crossed deliveries, but as the session develops we also look at closing down and denying shooting opportunities.
Pre-season training

Pre-season training

Pre-season
This is very much a generic pre-season training session focused on fitness. It’s built around the fitness requirements of the players but it is delivered through a normal training session that the team enjoy. We incorporate technical practices with crossing and finishing, and we include possession work before concluding the session with small-sided games.
Attacking patterns of play

Attacking
Use this session to reinforce offensive movements and to highlight the importance of good technical passing and receiving, crossing and shooting.
Deliveries from wide areas

Deliveries from wide areas

Attacking
The focus of this session is on combination play that results in a crossed delivery from a specific wide area. We play with attacking full-backs and like to work the ball into wider positions from which we can deliver quality crosses into the area.
Forward runs

Forward runs

Attacking
Focus on forward runs and encourage positive forward movement linked to patient buildup play and good pitch geography.
