In Possession Topic Descriptor

Create Space (High and Wide)When in possession of the ball, the players target is to stretch the field and make it as big as possible. The command “Shape” means to “get high and wide” which prompts the players to go the full width of the pitch and as high up the pitch as possible where by they are still in a position to receive the ball.

Players are always encouraged to pass forward wherever and whenever possible. A players thought process should be to look forward first, sideways second and backwards third, all in pursuit of the next forward pass.

Every time we can be direct and run at an opponent in a 1v1 situation (space in front and behind the defender) it should be encouraged. The secondary and more common option is to always try to look to create 2v1 situations on then pitch. One two’s, 3rd man runs, through balls and overloads will increase the opportunities for the ball carriers decision making to succeed.

Switching the point of attack can mean alternating the channels in which we attack through. There maybe more direct switches (right to left / back to front) or more methodical approaches (play backward to go forward / play wide to go through the middle.Switch the Point of Attack

When in possession of the ball, the players target is to stretch the field and make it as big as possible. The command “Shape” means to “get high and wide” which prompts the players to go the full width of the pitch and as high up the pitch as possible where by they are still in a position to receive the ball.

Is maintaining a quick and controlled style of play that moves the ball quickly, keeps the pictures changing and controls the tempo of the match.

Players are always encouraged to pass forward wherever and whenever possible. A players thought process should be to look forward first, sideways second and backwards third, all in pursuit of the next forward pass.

When we are looking to play beyond the opponents defensive lines, the quickest route is to play directly in behind their defence. The secondary look should be to find passes in between their midfield and defensive lines and last, to unbalance the opposition we need to be bale to penetrate when in front of their entire organised defence.

When we look to find combination passes between 2 or 3 players. One two’s, 3rd man runs, up-back-in, overlaps or through balls consisting of diagonal passing and straight runs or vice versa.

Switching the point of attack can mean alternating the channels in which we attack through. There maybe more direct switches (right to left / back to front) or more methodical approaches (play backward to go forward / play wide to go through the middleChanging the Attack

Remain CompactStay Compact and Keep the correct distances (12-15yds) between the person next to you, in front of you and behind you.

Whenever we can apply pressure to the ball (closest player) we must try to influence the amount of time and space they have. By doing so it will reduce the ball carriers ability to get their head up and play forward.

When we are pressurising the opponent we must do so with the correct intentions to aid yourself and give sufficient cues for your teammates to read and support to improve our chances of regaining possession of the ball.

When we decide to press the opponent, we can decide which area of the field we would like to begin the pressing. A high press is confronting the opposition in the attacking 3rd of the pitch. A medium press is confronting the opposition in the middle 3rd of the pitch and a low press is confronting the opposition in our defensive 3rd of the pitch.

Staying Tight to you Opponent

Delay the Attack

Staying close to your opponent (touch tight) to be able to intercept, impede or win the ball whichever direction the ball is played into the opponent.

When a line has been breached, the closest player must press the ball to block the DGC (Direct Goal channel) without committing and being beaten themselves. This will stop the opponent and allow sufficient time for our supporting players to recover back behind the ball to set a new defensive shape.

Reading the game and trying to anticipate where and when the ball may be played. Intercepting a pass into the opponent is the best form of ‘forward defending’ and it can initiate a potential counter attack.

Staying connected to the person to your right, left, front and behind when defending. Recommended distances of 10-15yds between each player working in unison, pressing, dropping, shifting and squeezing based on the opponents ball movement will restrict their ability to find gaps between our defensive lines.

Following the defensive process of applying pressure to the ball, covering the pressure and finding depth (balance) to stabilize a defensive unit to block passing lanes threatening our lines.

Setting the defensive shape and recovering the lines after they have been breached. Our ability to quickly get back behind the ball to keep the opponents in front of our defensive block is critical.Organize & Reorganize the line

Attacking Transition Topic Descriptor

Secure Possession or Risk the Counter AttackUpon immediate turnover of possession, act quickly (within 6 secs) to decide whether to initiate the counter attack or secure possession and enter into the Build Up phase again. Emphasis is placed on connecting the first 2 passes in the crisis moment.

Players are always encouraged to get beyond the ball when there is time and space to exploit the oppositions back line in between or in behind. Isolating 2v1 situations is key as is having a positive attitude to commit!

In a crisis moment there will be organized but chaotic, the decision making must be swift, clear and precise. Before we have won possession of the ball, preparation must be made to anticipate the counter attack and know where your out ball is before you have it.

Defensive Transition Topic Descriptor

Immediate Pressure to Win the BallUpon immediate turnover of possession, act quickly (within 6 secs) to commit to regaining possession of the ball. The Individual, the Unit and the Team must continue to hunt for 5-7 secs. Failure to win the ball would result in recovering into our defensive shape behind the ball.

If we are unbalanced and A line is broken, can we quickly reorganize to get behind the ball with the opposition in front of us. We must effect the DGC and block any immediate forward passes to gain time for our lines to recover.

If we are overloaded and outnumbered we have to delay the counter attack by dropping and collapsing into the middle to bide time to allow our players to recover into an organised defensive shape again.
