EXTENSIVE SPLIT WAVE
📋 How It Works:
* The Setup: Two teams,4 Mannequins, flat discs
* The Detail: Ball 1 & 2 both splits the attacking team are +1 with a 4v3 & have 20seconds to score. The Pink Gk plays long into the wide area for them to attack the yellows 4v3. At the same time the pink Defenders recover to the edge of the box & back to the offside line with the yellow attacker working to get onside starting at the base line. The yellows attack 4v3. Ball 3 The yellows look to build & attack with pinks with 1 minute on the clock to score & a normal game is played. Should the pinks score or yellows score quickly - Coaches can drop one ball to allow play to build for 1 minute.
* The Transition: If the OP team will the ball on the split (ball 1&2) then that part is dead & they wait for ball 3. For ball 3 it is a normal game
🎯 Key Focus Areas:
* Physical load: This Practice is great for Extensive days focusing on HSR & high volume with larger spaces & less players allowing for an aerobic practice.
* Technical/Tactical focus: You Can use this practice to focus on IP - utilising 1v1 situations to beat the defender through COD or COP. As a team - using the wide areas to draw the defenders & attack with an overload. Attacking through counter attacks.
