In Possession

This session is aimed at developing a team’s decision making in possession when playing against an opposition that press high. The session is set up as a phase of play, using three quarters of a pitch, and involving at least two full units of two teams – for example, the 4-4 part of a 4-4-2 versus the 3-3 part of a 4-3-3. However, the closer the team organisation looks to the 11v11 game, the better for the realism of the practice.
