1-4-3-3 Game-Training PDF

• The exercises in this document show how to methodically train and develop the
  following main aspects of the 1-4-3-3 formation:

1. Defending
2. Passing
3. Positional play
4. Playing out
5. Attacking
6. Training games

• The starting point is a game related approach of training
• The players are supposed to be technically well developed in the preceding (skill
  acquisition) phase
• In general one example of an exercise is given per methodical step
• Depending on the development level of the players, it is up to the coach to
  influence the exercises by increasing or decreasing the game related resistances
  (one step up or down) and to design more exercises with the same training aim

FFA Curriculum Framework

The essence of teaching (training) is to always think of the actual game situation as
the starting point and then simplify / modify the game situation for training. This is
achieved by reducing the game specific resistances until the obtained training aim
can be realised by the players.
Therefore a coach must be able to:

• analyse football;
• define the ‘football problems’ of the team and / or the individual players in
  football-acting language;
• design and implement exercises to realise the training aims.
