This fast pass and control session looks at ways you can encourage your players to use the full width of the pitch!
Did you know that football pitches can vary massively in size? The length of the pitch can be anywhere between 90-120 meters long and pitches can be as narrow as 45 meters or as wide as 90 meters! So in theory you could have a pitch that is as long as it is wide!
To make sure your players use the entire length and breadth of the pitch this week we work on creating space and spreading the ball. If one side of the pitch is congested it seems only natural that your players should switch the ball across and attack the free side - sounds simple, and it is... when your stood on the sidelines! Make sure your players can see what you see!
Using fast passing, quick thinking and swift movement you'll be able to get your players taking up wide positions on the field - taking defenders with them and stretching your opposition to breaking point - Just like an elastic band the further you can stretch your opposition's defence, the weaker it becomes!

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider. Here is how the modern set-piece specialists design attacking corners, free kicks, and throw-ins - and how you can apply their ideas at any level.
The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
