Triangle give-and-go, Playing out from the back, Checking for understanding

Hi there,

I hope you’re all well!

Here are this week’s coaching tips:

⚽️ Practice of the week

First, a simple triangle give-and-go warmup:

WannaTeachPE @WannaTeachPE

Triangle Give & Go! ⚽️ Simple and effective activity looking at weight and control of passing and lay-offs. Rotate central player every 30 seconds but encourage high work rate. Concept works with handball and netball too. 🤾🏻🏐

🥅 Game of the week

Next, a small-sided game to work on playing out from the back, with 4v2 situations:

Through The Thirds Coach Development @TTTCoachDev

⚽️ Playing Out From The Back And Into Midfield SSG ⚽️ • Own half- FB’s on sides to build up and play from back and into the 2 CM’s in the other half. • Once the ball is passed into the CM’s, they play forward to target players before scoring. ⚽️⚽️⚽️ @TacticalPad

💡 Idea of the week

Lastly, such a simple but useful reminder: always check for understanding!

I hope you enjoyed this. Until next time!
