Collective replacement and management of offensive and defensive space (U12)
Through this exercise, your players work on collective repositioning, closing down space, and defensive build-up play, as well as finding the available teammate and creating an overload in attack.
On a half-field, set up 2 small goals with cones on each side of the center circle. Place 5 attackers and 4 defenders with a goalkeeper.
The attackers must try to score in the large goal and the defenders in the small goals. The defenders must make at least 3 passes before they can score. The attackers must play quickly, with a maximum of 2 touches.
The attackers must try to score in the large goal and the defenders in the small goals. The defenders must make at least 3 passes before they can score. The attackers must play quickly, with a maximum of 2 touches.
Change players every 3 minutes.
Explain clearly to the defense the defensive transition when losing the ball: the defender closest to the ball will press the attacker while the others track back into their zone or mark one of the attackers.
