Turnover/Pressing Game

This game is designed to reward team that have an effective pressing game that leads to turnover, if playing on a full pitch the highest attacking 25 is worth 4 points and it goes down a point the closer the team get the their defensive quarter. We are looking at how teams keep shape to create turnover.

  • Limit forward progress by working hard in the press

  • Discuss with teams different styles of pressing such as wing press, pocket collapse etc

Regression

  • Take time to talk through a certain press with a team in order for them to put that on the pitch. U13/U14s will normally need this.
  • Have coaches on pitch coaching as they play
