2️⃣ Activity 1 (15’): 1v1 Refresher – Receiving Back to Goal
Objective: Revisit shielding technique to maintain possession under tight marking.
Organization:

10x10-yard grids.

Coach passes into the attacker’s feet; defender applies back pressure immediately.

Attacker must hold off defender for 3 seconds, then find a way to pass to coach or dribble through a gate.
Coaching Points:

Use arm and body to shield.

Keep ball on furthest foot from defender.

Scan before turning.

Maintain composure and timing of turn or pass.
Player Actions:

Protect, absorb pressure, pass out when ready.

Communicate for outlet support.

3️⃣ Activity 2 (20’): 2v1 – Passing Under Pressure (Angle of Support Focus)
Objective: Introduce a second player’s support movement when initial receiver is under pressure.
Organization:

15x20-yard zone with big goal and 2 mini goals.

Coach plays into Player A (back to goal) under pressure from 1 defender.

Player B supports from an angle (not directly behind or beside).

Player A shields and looks to find Player B’s angle for pass, leading to finish.
Progressions:
1️⃣ Limit Player A to 2 touches before releasing.
2️⃣ Allow the defender to press both players.
Coaching Points:

Player A: shield and hold, identify support.

Player B: move diagonally to create a passing lane.

Timing of support — arrive as ball arrives, not early.

Weight and direction of pass to relieve pressure.
Player Actions:

Communicate early: “Man on!” “Turn!” “Lay off!”

Support in a diagonal pocket, not flat.

Recognize when to pass quickly vs. hold.

4️⃣ Activity 3 (20’): 3v2 Progression – Support Play in Transition
Objective: Combine shielding, supporting angles, and forward passing under dynamic pressure.
Organization:

25x20-yard grid, 3 attackers vs. 2 defenders.

Coach plays to a back-to-goal attacker.

Support players adjust angles wide or underneath to maintain possession or finish.
Progressions:
1️⃣ Add mini goals or target zones for scoring.
2️⃣ Require one combination (1-2 or wall pass) before finishing.
Coaching Points:

Create triangles around pressure.

Move into passing lanes, not behind defenders.

Scan for forward option before receiving.

Stay compact for defensive transition.

5️⃣ Full Game (20’): 4v4 or 5v5 (All Players In)
