Jörg Madinger - Improving speed play for fast break situations (TU 4)
The objective of this training unit is to improve free play in fast break situations. Following warm-up and a short game, the players play long passes during the ball familiarization phase which will be further developed in the goalkeeper warm-up shooting exercise. This is followed by a series of shots requiring precise passes. Afterwards, the players practice free play in outnumbered, open situations during fast breaks. A closing game with gradually increasing complexity completes this training unit. <br/> The training unit consists of the following key exercises: – Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes) – Short game (10/20) – Ball familiarization (10/30) – Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/40) – Offense/Series of shots (10/50) – Offense/Small groups (15/65) – Offense/Small groups (10/75) – Closing game (15/90) Total training time: 90 minutes <br/> Difficulty: Medium level (youth teams under 15 years of age and adult teams)
