Thanks Gary those details help quite a bit. Here’s a little background on my team. We are a U11 girls competitive team and play 8 v 8 but moving to 11 v 11 next August. The team make up is upper silver, almost gold (5 A Players, 7 B Players and a C player).
We have solid possession against the weaker teams (like 70% plus control of the ball and we win those games). Against the stronger teams it goes down to like 50% because they pressure a lot better and are much more organized than the weaker teams. A big problem is that we have a really hard time transitioning from the back into the attack, penetrating and scoring against those stronger teams.Even against the weaker teams I feel like we should be scoring more.
We started in August training quite a bit on building out of the back with the PDF you posted then added a few sessions of pressure choreography around October. We haven’t trained at all on attacking patterns but with the advice of Andres Deza (the Deanza Force girls U14 possession coach) we had just started on 2 v 1 and 3 v 2 training to help with the attacking.
Hi Everyone,
My name is Alfredo Ramirez and I’m a coach with Sky FC in El Paso, Texas. I work with a U11 girls competitive and U6 team. I’ve been coaching for about 10 years now and over the past 7 months have been working on implementing a true possession based playing style. This site has been a tremendous help to say the least.
Very excited to have the concrete guidance this course/membership is providing.
Thanks Gary and Brian!
Alfredo
