  1. HIGHER FOOTBALL SPEED OF THE BALL

  2. Speed of the Ball • Ball moves faster than you do • Cover more ground • Hold formation • Not get to close to team-mates • Speed of the ball is important in both Attack & Defence

  3. Speed of Ball (Attack) • Velocity (speed) of pass • Reaches team mate • Hard to intercept • Too hard; • Hard to control • Accuracy • Loose possession • Examples from within a game?

  4. Speed of Ball (Attack) • Quick passes open up defences • Players follow the ball • Quicker you move the ball defenders have to adjust position • If you see gaps/space before receiving ball you save more time • Player movement off the ball creates spaces/passing opportunities

  5. Speed of Ball (Attack) • Slowing the ball down • Maintain possession • Winning game • Support to arrive from other players • But defending team also has time to re-organise • Draw out opposition • Crowded areas • Move ball using width to create space

  6. Speed of Ball (Attack) • One/Two passing • Eliminate defenders / chase ball • Tire them out (speed/endurance) • Fast accurate passing • Draw defenders out (spaces behind them) • Used in areas of little space / lots of players • Examples you can thing of in a game?

  7. Speed of Ball (Attack) • Shooting / Heading / Volleying • Distance from goal • Outside/inside box or penalty or free kick • Goalkeeper can react to fast shoots as quickly • Power over Accuracy? • Penalty and free-kicks are balls not in motion. How would your strike differ from a pass or cut back when the ball is moving faster to you?

  8. Speed of Ball (Counter Attack) • High ball speed is important during Counter Attack • Getting ball from defence to attack as quickly as possible • Defending players out of position • More space to pass or run into

  9. Speed of Ball (Counter Attack) • Weight of pass • Ball played quickly • In front of player to run onto – why? • Not too hard – why? • Not too slow – player has to ‘check’ run

  10. Speed of Ball (Defence) • Pressure from attackers • Long, quick and high balls to attackers • Counter attack (support from midfield) • Ball away from danger area • But if no support in attack ball could be lost and pressure back on • Quick short passes • Play out of defence using midfield players • Keep possession • Remember its an area with lots of players and little space

  11. Speed of Ball (Defence) • Slow down passing • Play across defence if no options to play long to attack or short to midfield • Move ball across pitch (width) to try and open up space and draw out oppossition
