Zagreb SAQ & 1v1
ADDED TO FAVOURITES
Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 6 | Pitch size: 20x10
The practice begins when the coach calls out two colours. The two players must sprint to the coloured poles corresponding to the coach’s call. Once the players complete the sprint, they will then compete in a 1v1 situation in the central area. The coach does not give preference to either player, so the ball will be passed into the middle, and the player who completes the SAQ part (sprinting to the poles) the quickest will get to the ball first. The players can score into either of the mini goals, adding variety and challenge to the 1v1 situation.
• Explosive Speed – Focus on the explosive acceleration required when sprinting to the poles. Players should concentrate on pushing off quickly and efficiently to gain the advantage in the 1v1 phase. Encourage quick starts and fast direction changes during the sprint phase.
• 1v1 Decision Making – When engaging in the 1v1, players should work on quick decision-making: whether to take on the defender with a dribble, use a skill move, or take an early shot on goal. Encourage players to read the defender's body positioning and attack or shield the ball accordingly.
• Finishing Under Pressure – The 1v1 scenario should include pressure situations where players are forced to make quick decisions under pressure. Whether the defender is closing down space or the player is in a tight angle, focus on finishing quickly and efficiently to get a shot off.
• Recovery and Resilience – After the 1v1 phase, players must quickly recover and transition to be ready for the next round. Encourage them to maintain their intensity and remain focused after completing each phase of the practice, emphasizing the importance of mental and physical resilience throughout.
Add More Goals
Introduce additional mini goals or cones to encourage more creativity in the 1v1 phase, requiring the attacking player to choose which goal to attack, creating more decision-making opportunities.
Focus:
Improves decision-making under pressure and encourages attacking players to be more versatile.
Add a Defending Restriction
Limit the defender’s actions (e.g., no tackles or only allow them to block or jockey), forcing the attacker to focus on finishing or creating space in other ways, such as taking a shot or passing.
Focus:
Helps attackers work on finishing under less pressure, allowing them to refine their shooting and placement.
