This week's Animated Drill Video shows a simple and effect way to train your players how to create and maintain a connected team shape. You can use the methods described here whether your team is playing small-sided or full sided games.
Training Team Shape in the 3-3-1 also has some great ideas on how to use small-sided games to train team shape. This video will give you an inside look at the book.
If you want to learn more about coaching team shape here's a great video.
The diagram is created with the session planner on Planet Training that is available through from Planet.Training.
Please feel free to share this with your team or fellow coaches. What other progressions would you use with your own team? Share your idea in the comments section below the video or on this page.
Have a great week!
