Play through the thirds and create attacking overloads in this three-part session.
This three-part session focuses on playing through the thirds, breaking lines and creating overloads in attacking scenarios.
Set out an area relative to the age and ability of your players. Play with a goal and a keeper at each end, with eight outfield players per team. Split the pitch into thirds.
Players are encouraged to break lines and play through thirds whenever possible.
This could be done through passing, dribbling, running with the ball or of the ball movement. For the first minute or two, there is total free play to check for transference of learning. As
the game progresses, look to implement challenges (both collective and individual) and conditions to further players’ development.
