Introducing the 9v9 game model.
A reminder, you can listen to an awesome podcast talking about a game model, here.
Here is a model for the 9v9 game.
Attack | Defense | Transition to Attack | Transition to Defense |
Dribble/keep the ball. | Stop the player dribbling. | Play forward | Immediate pressure on the ball |
Pass to feet. | Steal passes. | If not, keep the ball | Recover to defend the goal |
Create Overloads | Cover your teammates | Play into spaces | Compactness |
Pass into Space | Set traps | Create overloads | Force mistakes |
As with the 7v7 model, use this as a foundation for training your players.
