Coaching Sessions

Attacking patterns

In Possession

This session is about attacking patterns, reinforcing messages to the players. It is unopposed to start with to make sure that the session flows.

The session is about passing the ball quickly and effectively across the width of the pitch to utilise space and to penetrate the opposition. Ultimately, players love passing the ball, so following that logic through, quick and effective link-up play is the best way to create opportunities, find weaknesses in your opponents and score goals.
