Lesson 23:
ATTACKING CAROUSEL (PART 3)
This exciting attacking carousel that focuses on developing wide players' 1v1 skills and crossing abilities, while also honing the combination play of midfielders and forwards. The session is set up in a playing area measuring 60m x 50m, divided into three vertical channels.
In the top half of the pitch, two 1v1 scenarios are arranged in each wide channel, with target goals strategically placed as shown in the diagram. A player or coach (C) initiates the play by passing to an attacking wide player (A), who aims to beat their defender (B) in a 1v1 battle and score into the target goal positioned near the central channel, simulating delivering a cross in a game situation. If the defender wins possession, they should promptly look to play into the other target goal or back to the target player (C).
On the bottom half of the pitch, a 3v3 setup engages an attacking team (Team B) in their quest to combine and score past the goalkeeper. Meanwhile, the defending team (Team A) seeks to win possession and play into another target player (C) positioned on the halfway line.
To ensure equal participation and a comprehensive learning experience, players rotate at regular intervals. This allows all players to have opportunities to engage in attacking and defensive situations, experiencing both 1v1 duels and 3v3 combinations.
The session aims to develop the following key skills:
Wide Players' 1v1 Skills:
Wide players will enhance their 1v1 abilities, learning to take on defenders effectively and
deliver precise crosses, replicating real-game scenarios.
Combination Play for Midfielders and Forwards:
Midfielders and forwards will work on their combination play, developing a strong
understanding of how to link up cohesively to create scoring opportunities.
The attacking carousel provides a dynamic and challenging environment for players to improve their attacking prowess and decision-making while experiencing the thrill of taking on defenders and executing well-crafted combinations. Get ready for an action-packed session filled with creativity and teamwork!
