SasvariWay Training Methodology

Design your own  training session on "Individual Attack"

q       start with the POSSESSION moment of "Individual Attack"

q       present it so that it relates directly to the game in a way that makes sense to the player

q       must involve some sort of pressure 

o       limited space

o       limited time

o       other players taking up space

o       defenders with or with restrictions

o       technical requirements relative to tactical decisions

o       speed requirements related to reading the game

o       speed requirements related to executing technique

q       must progress from simple to complex (un-match like to match like)

NOTE TO HOST CLUBS - Please arrange/organize for use of at 4 to 6 goals (big or small) for use during the training session. 

WARM-UP:  SCORING WITH THE INSIDE OF THE FOOT (training session begins with 2 - 3 lines in front of goals of players each with a ball):  

1. Inside of the foot shooting near post - play one touch forward then shoot near post with the inside of the foot.

2. Far Post Shooting - play one touch forward then shoot far post with the laces of the foot.

Emphasize:  stepping past the ball with the opposite foot.   Shooting with laces keep toe down, ankle locked, knee over the ball, head down.  Shooting with inside of the foot same as with laces but lock the ankle with toe pointed out.  Follow up on all second chances.

Emphasize: The striker must turn the head and look behind before the ball arrives.  The player serving should play 2 touches, looking up after a small 1st touch to make eye contact with the striker and then passing the ball on the 2nd touch.

EXERCISE 2:  CREATIVE RUNNING, DRIBBLING, AND PASSING 

Organization:  Two Lines (one with all the balls), 1 GK.  Players switch lines after each turn.

1. Attacker 1 starts with the ball and passes to attacker 2 followed by an overlapping run.  Attacker 2 dribbles the ball inside passes the ball to attacker 1 on the overlap.

EXERCISE 3:  

Match Conditions Exercise:  2 v 1 Field is normal size with 1 big goal and 2 small goals 

Organization:  One Lines of defenders with balls, 1 GK.  Two lines of Attackers.  Players switch lines after each turn but remain as attackers.

1. Defender 1 starts with the ball and passes to either attacker and then sprints forward to pressure the ball.   Attacker 1 dribbles the ball inside and beats teh defender 1 v 1 or passes the ball to attacker 2 on the overlap.

Match Conditions Exercise:  2 v 2 Field is normal size with 1 big goal and 2 small goals.  

Organization:  Two Lines of defenders with balls, 1 GK.  Two lines of Attackers.  Players switch lines after each turn but remain as attackers or defenders.

WARM-UP:  FOOTWORK WITH THE BALL (moves are practiced both individually and facing a partner):  

1. Step-Over - with the ball in front step over the ball going around it so that it is between your legs when you step around it - then turn the opposite way and dribble away.

2. Double Step-Over - step-over with the right foot, step-over with the left foot, then turn back the opposite direction and dribble away. 

3. Cruyf turn - moving with the ball in one direction, change directions by chopping the ball behind the opposite foot.

Emphasize:  use the entire body including head, shoulders, and leaning hard to sell the fakes, accelerate after faking and pushing ball into space for room to accelerate.  

EXERCISE 1:  Turning with the goal behind you and with the inside of the foot

Organization:  Red attacker comes for the ball after eye contact with teammate and turns to dribble through the goal behind her.  Yellow does the same in the opposite direction.

Emphasize: The striker must turn the head and look behind before the ball arrives.  The player serving should play 2 touches, looking up after a small 1st touch to make eye contact with the striker and then passing the ball on the 2nd touch.

EXERCISE 2:  Coming for the ball with the goal behind you and faking the turn and letting the ball run.

Organization:  

Emphasize: Same as above

EXERCISE 3:  1 v 1 to two small goals

Organization:  Attacker in Red receives the ball from her teammate.  Yellow defender also comes out to defend.  Red attacker reads the defender and chooses to turn and attack either of the two small goals.

Emphasize:   The attacker should focus on using the turns learned earlier in the training.  Attacker must read the defenders movements in order to turn quickly toward the goal that is open.

Match Conditions Exercise:  3 v 3 (or 4 v 4) Field is 20m. wide and 40m. long with 4 small goals 

Organization:  The attacking team must dribble through the goal NOT pass it through.  Each team has a choice of 2 small goals to attack on the end of the field.

Emphasize:  Use the turns learned earlier in the training session, Attack space, dribble at angles, use change of speed - accelerate past defenders, attack the goal with the fewest defenders.

Training March 29 - April 3, 2007

WARM-UP:  3 v 3 (or 4 v 4) Three attackers versus 3 defenders. (Field is 40m. wide and 20m. long with 3 small goals on each end)

The three attackers start with one ball each and attack the opposite line.  Defenders attempt to win the ball and counter attack.  Balls are in play until a goal is scored or the ball is put out of bounds.  All players are active until all the balls have been scored or played out of bounds.

Emphasize:  Attack space, dribble at angles, use change of speed - accelerate past defenders.

FOOTWORK WITH THE BALL (moves are practiced both individually and facing a partner):  

1. Inside Chop - Outside Touch (chop inside right - touch outside left and then visa versa)

2. Pull the ball with the sole of the right foot - push the ball away toward the left with teh outside of the left foot.  The ball should move in the shape of the letter "V" as it moves from the right to the left and then visa versa. 

3. Fake outside right - Go outside left (fake behind the ball with the outside of the foot)

4. Double Scissors and Go

Emphasize:  use the entire body including head, shoulders, and leaning hard to sell the fakes, accelerate after faking and pushing ball into space for room to accelerate.  

EXERCISE 1:  1 v 1 to Ball

Organization:  Players partner up into groups of 2.  One player starts with the ball as the attacker, one player starts as a defender.  One ball acts as the goal while the other ball is the match ball.

Emphasize: Using fakes

EXERCISE 2:  1 v 1 to Goal

Organization:  Two groups.  Defender can only defend in the grid (12 wide x 5 deep).  If attacker does not make it through the grid past the defender, she becomes the new defender.   Attackers change lines after each turn.  Attacker must shoot on next touch after getting into the penalty area.  

Emphasize: Using fakes, accelerating past the defender

Match Conditions Exercise:   3 v 3 to two small goals

Team in possession is trying to score in one of the small goals on the line they are attacking

Emphasize:  Attack the goal where there is an advantage.  Use dribbling skills to freeze the defender, use passing tout of necessity to find the open player, players without the ball should run into good positions using overlaps and diagonal runs.

Training September 11 - 14, 2006

WARM-UP:  4 v 4 (or 3 v 3) attacking 3 small goals. (Field is 40m. wide and 20m. long with 3 small goals on each end)

Team in possession is trying to score in one of the small goals on the line they are attacking

Emphasize:  Attack the goal where there is an advantage.  Use dribbling skills to freeze the defender, use passing tout of necessity to find the open player, players without the ball should run into good positions using overlaps and diagonal runs.

EXERCISE 1:  3 v 1 Possession

Organization:  4 players in each grid (10 x 15).  One player is a defender and the other three players try to keep possession for as long as possible.  The defender does not change on loss of possession but instead on the coaches signal (rotate once every 1/2 minute to 2 minutes).  This guarantees that each player has an equal opportunity to work on possession - otherwise those that lose the ball most often are more often in the middle and are usually the ones that need the most work on keeping possession.  If the defender wins the ball she triees to keep the ball as long as possible.

Emphasize: Players showing into the widest position to receive the ball with the best possible angle.  Pass the ball away from pressure (defender) and to the front or inside leg of the player receiving the ball.  Receive the ball in an open position and with the inside of the foot.  Play 1 touch when under pressure and 2 touch when there is time.

EXERCISE 2:   3 v (1 + 2) Possession

Organization:  Two equal size grids (10 x 15 each grid) side by side with 3 players in each grid.  One team starts with possession in their grid while the opposing team sends one player in to defend and attempt to steal or clear the ball.  The team with 3 v 1 tries to play a pre-determined number of passes (5 passes or more) without losing the ball.  After 5 passes they receive a point if they are able to play the ball across the grid to the remaining 2 players.  The defender then returns to her grid and works with her teammates to keep possession.  The team that played the ball across sends a player in to defend and attempt to steal and clear the ball.

If the defender wins the ball she may play it across to her teammates and counts as the first pass in keeping possession.  The team that lost the ball may attempt to steal the ball back before the defender plays it out of the grid.

Emphasize: 

Training May 1 - 4, 2006

WARM-UP:  4 v 4 (or 3 v 3) two teams attacking the same goal.  Team in possession is trying to score.

Emphasize:  Use dribbling skills to create a shooting opportunity, uses passing only to set up someone else for a 1 touch shot, players without the ball should set themselves up to receive the ball and shoot with 1 touch.

FOOTWORK WITH THE BALL (moves are practiced both individually and facing a partner):  

1. Inside - Inside (touching ball between feet)

2. Rolling the ball out and touching across the body to the opposite foot

3. Inside Chop - Outside Touch (chop inside right - touch outside left and then visa versa)

4. Fake outside right - Go outside left (fake behind the ball with the outside of the foot)

5. Double Scissors and Go

Emphasize:  use the entire body including head, shoulders, and leaning hard to sell the fakes, accelerate after faking and pushing ball into space for room to accelerate.  

EXERCISE 1:  1 v 1 to Goal

Organization: 10 meters wide and 5 meters long defending area set up with cones 20 meters from the goal.  One line for players 10 meters further from the defending area.  Every player with a ball except one defender in the defending area. 

Each player starts with a ball and one at a time attempts to dribble through the defending area using fakes and changes of speed to get past the defender and through to the other side.  The defender may only defend in the 10x5 box (defending area).  Once the defender wins the ball or clears it out - the player who lost the ball becomes the next defender and stays until she wins the ball from someone else.

Emphasize:  Use previous points and use of various feinting (fakes) to get the defender off balance, use change of speed, do not wait for next defender to get ready - go immediately after previous defender wins the ball or attacker is through the defending area, fake to the front side of the defender and attack the backside.

EXERCISE 2:  4 v 4 (or 6 v 6) to Large Goal with Counter Attack to 2 Small Goals

Organization: 44 yards wide and 36 yards long with large goal on one side and 2 cones as small goals set up at angles inside the playing area near the opposite end.

The team defending the large goal must attack either of the small goals and score a point by passing the ball through the small goal to a teammate on the other side who MUST successfully receive the ball.  The ball may be passed though from either side of the small goals.  

The team attacking the large goal tries to score 3 goals on the large goal before the defending team scores 3 points on the small goals.  When the team defending the large goal scores 3 points they immediately transition to scoring on the large goal and the other team must now defend the large goal.

If the team attacking the large goal scores 3 points first, they get to keep attacking the large goal and the scoring starts over at 0-0.

Emphasize:  All previous points, team attacking big goal must create quick shooting opportunities.
