Improving the interaction of back position players with the pivot (TU 1). Jörg Madinger

The objective of this training unit is to practice the interaction of a back position player with the pivot. Following warm-up and a running coordination exercise, the players prepare for the running moves in the back positions during the ball familiarization phase. After the goalkeeper warm-up shooting, there will be three offense exercises in which the players further develop the team play step by step. In a 4-on-4 game, the players should implement what they practiced before.
The training unit consists of the following key exercises: – Warm-up/Stretching (individual exercise: 10 minutes/total time: 10 minutes) – Coordination run (10/20) – Ball familiarization (10/30) – Goalkeeper warm-up shooting (10/40) – Offense/Small groups (10/50) – Offense/Small groups (10/60) – Offense/Small groups (20/80) – Offense/Team (10/90) Training unit total time: 90 minutes
