The training session focuses on possession and high intensity drills. Players will participate in warm-up exercises like dynamic stretching followed by two possession games, one with 5v5 in a small area requiring 2 touches and 6 passes for a goal, and one with 10v10 in a larger area requiring 2 touches and 10 passes for a goal. In the tactical work, there will be an 11v10 scenario with restrictions where the blue attacking team must score goals or get shots on target for points by having their full-backs stay in zone at first but be released after passes, while the red defending team earns points by not conceding and passing to released wide players. Goalkeepers will rotate.

2. TRAINING SESSION 4 MONDAY 23rd
March 8.30am – 10am at Independence Stadium, Bakau
TACTICAL WORK
11 v 10 with restrictions
Team A (blue attackers)
Play starts from back four or full-backs,
Rules: Full-backs must stay in zone to start with but will be released after a set number
of passes. Blues are trying to score or get a shot on target for their points (1 pt on
target, 3 pts GOAL) – tactical notes are for wide-men to tuck in, quick one-two play,
timing of the runs from the attacker, midfielders should try to play in between the
channels of the opposition defenders.
Team B (red defenders)
As defenders they are trying to not concede and when they win the ball they earn their
points by playing the ball to wide-men, who are released from their zone when the ball
is won.
Goalkeepers rotate
