TOPIC / THEME

Individual Attacking Techniques - Combinations

Progression 6 - Takeovers

DESCRIPTION OF PRACTICE (TECHNIQUE / SKILL)

TAKE OVERS -- 1 v 1 (+1)

Three players combine to make A Takeover to complete a successful Attack against One Defender. Practice involves a good first pass - good control to receive - movement

ORGANISATION

Players play in a 15 x 12 metre grid With two 5 metre end zones

1. Zone Player plays to one of two wide receivers - reds

2.Wide Receiver Controls ball and takes ball ( dribbles ) towards other wide team mate

3. Both players draw defender in

4. When all three players are very close - attacker can execute a takeover - OR Not

5. Create Space - behind defender

6. Exploit the Space - Accelerate

KEY OBSERVATION

Starting Positions - see defender and see ball

Pace & Angle of first pass - gives time to receiver, control & assess def position

Dribble across grid towards partner - partner runs towards dribbler

Position of ball - should be kept as far away from defender as possible

Execute Takeover - when defender is committed - use screen to deceive them

End Product - Once Space is Created - Exploit. Decision Making - foot to use?

NOTES

Good Pass, Control, and Decision to come inside - based on first touch

Other attacker - keep your distance - - give defender a problem - Switch off

Avoid eye contact - disguise intentions - approach speeds up as the distance shortens

Take the ball away (i.e. Takeover) comfortably - but block defenders view
