Session 2 looks at support. I want you to watch the game set up by the coach observe how the players identify the best ways to support the ball carrier. We're going to look at support play now and I know how much you guys enjoy playing games yet. So we're going to play a game called phrygian touch the idea of this is Unlimited Touch. It's got to be a two-handed touch on the hips. You got to look for support immediately after that. If you're touched again, the ball will be turned over. Let's play Two touches change it over unlucky. Cuts there one more touch. Okay, here we come here we come so where do we want to support from at the moment off-the-shoulder? Okay communicate. Come on. Let's get back in the game. One Touch to touch and I just the one OneTouch there one touch their great play big fella Touch that one to Tony touch their lovely support were played where we get involved down are we getting bogged down in any way shape or form, but we're not getting some momentum going forward. Let's really work on working forward. Two touches blue ball well-defended unlucky think about what we said about moving out of the mess we go forward. Fanta we're going to work from here is just looking at all our formation or shape. So we said we've got Ball Carrier, haven't we then where do we want left? And right. Okay, and then was the fourth one that we really want to look at sitting at the back. Okay. So yeah, the one who's going to track in the one who's going to start to look at perhaps the better communication in your own time. Okay, let's contact there. Let's go back again. Petra Petra good work several she's drunk. What did you do differently to these three Defenders if you can answer that moved you? Okay. Where did he then put the ball into a space support. When as I want you to think about. When do I need to make my decision? Where am I going to run to to help the ball carrier? Okay off we go. Let's play. Yeah, good. Good. Good depth are coming through. Okay and if we go again, Yeah, good and off we go. Oh nice line there support man is in if the ball carrier is taking a defensive way. What perhaps could we do slightly better to help him. We need to look where that's happening and then go to the station and all the space we could do Dominic Asia as well. So he knows what she doesn't have to look so we just know that you're going to be then good work. So let's let's just move that fruit in if your own runs towards Ali and then takes only back that way good. Yeah good. So what we're looking for is all these body shape, aren't we? Who's the key support Runnin to give some of the information? Why this guy? You too can see as well. But what doesn't he have? Doesn't have pressure good. Let's get that deep. Joy to start to communicate a little bit earlier for me. Yeah, good nice communication from the back there. Wow, okay, if you attack more narrow, okay, what kind of personally giving now is that easier pass? Yeah, probably because if he's being tackled getting that wide path, sometimes it's quite difficult. Let's go. Don't always have to go to left and right let's use that deep guys will happy that guys. Let's play. Nice one touch there. Unlucky blackball. I was better already. Support all of his support left he still there. Almost a spoon for options then when you lovely will play. Have you studied? Excellent play fellas some great finishing there wasn't there. So if we were to take three things away from this three real positives, what would they be? The diamond support. Yeah, it works. Well, yeah specifically said do me good pollen and the coming from depth. So coming from debt that diamond support and that specific communication get them. Right and we're sorted and Well Done mate, that's really good fun. Yeah, it's really enjoyed that we if we think about what we started doing our objectives that was to improve the support of the lads. I'd you think we got on I think we did pretty well. I think your game bit really did work. Well they started to look for that penetrating run around the round of contact here, which we offer it was quite good when you got them into the technically. Are you really focused on that coming from depth and actually have the support left and right and that's became very apparent when we went back into the game at the end. Didn't it? Good on ya. I think it's your turn for the cheese. Let's go.
