Primary school students 8-a-side football game tactics teaching planThe following is an example of a tactical lesson plan for an eight-a-side soccer game for primary school students:
** 1. Tactical Selection and Analysis **
1. **3 - 2 - 2 Formation **
- ** Specialties **:
- [Attack and Defense: This formation has a good performance in both attack and defense.] When defending, the three defenders could effectively protect the goal, especially in the middle to form a barrier, reducing the chances of the opposing attacking players directly facing the goalkeeper. The two midfielders played a connecting role, both participating in the defense and delivering the ball to the attacking players. The two strikers could put pressure on the opponent's goal when attacking.
- [Middle lane advantage: In a small area, whether it's offense or defense, the middle lane has the advantage in numbers.] For example, when fighting for the ball in the midfield, two midfielders could cooperate with three defenders to control the ball through short passes and then pass the ball to the striker to launch an attack.
- ** Offensive Tactics **:
- Midfield Organization: After the start of the game, the midfielders must actively fight for the ball. After getting the ball, he could first find a teammate who was closer to him, such as one of the three defenders, to cooperate with short passes to stabilize the ball. Then, he observed the position of the two strikers. When he found that the strikers had a good space or a running route, he would pass the ball in time.
- Forward positioning: The forward must be flexible and cannot stand in place waiting for the ball. One striker could pull the sides and create space for the other striker to attack in the middle, while also attracting the attention of the opposing defenders. The striker who pulled the side could choose to pass from the bottom after receiving the ball on the flank, so that the striker in the middle could seize the point to shoot, or cooperate with the midfielder who cut inside to create a shooting opportunity.
- Defensive Tactics:
- Overall Defense: When defending, you must emphasize the integrity of the team. The distance between the three defenders must be moderate and there must not be too big of an opening. The two midfielders had to return to defend in time to assist the defenders in defending. For example, when the opponent's attacking player dribbled the ball to break through one of our defenders, the nearby defenders had to fill in the position in time, and the midfielders had to retreat quickly to form a double-team formation against the attacking player, forcing the opponent to make a mistake or send the ball out of the danger zone.
- Defend the key area: Focus on defending the middle area because this area is closer to the goal. Once it is broken through by the opponent, it is easy to form a shooting opportunity. At the same time, the defense of the opposing striker should be close to prevent them from easily receiving the ball and turning around to shoot.
2. **2 - 3 - 2 Formation **
- ** Specialties **:
- ** Flexible Rotation **: Requires players in adjacent positions to change positions flexibly and form a hexagon-like formation. Such a position would allow the team to quickly adjust when attacking and defending, confusing the opposing defenders.
- ** Requires a core player **: A core player with the ability to attack and defend is needed to occupy the midfield. This player is the organizer of the team's offense and defense.
- ** Offensive Tactics **:
- ** Overall Movement and Passing **: The seven players on the field (excluding the goalkeeper) must move as a whole. When attacking, they mainly relied on the triangular passes to advance. For example, the defenders and midfielders, and the midfielders and strikers formed a triangular passing relationship. When the players in the middle and back field took the ball, the midfield core had to make a straight pass or an oblique pass in time to create an opportunity for the two forwards to run and receive the ball. The two strikers had to use the characteristics of their tall center forwards and their flexible positioning to pull the opponent's defense and look for opportunities to shoot.
- "Offensive ideas for reference": You can learn from Guardiola's style of play when he coached Barcelona. Through continuous short passes, you can find loopholes in the opponent's defense and finally complete a fatal blow.
- Defensive Tactics:
- ** Overall Defense Concept **: When defending as a whole, you must maintain the integrity of the formation and not fight individually. When the opponent attacked, the players in the front field had to head the player but not the ball. They had to interfere with the opponent's player who was holding the ball, but they should not blindly snatch the ball to avoid being broken through by the opponent's defense. If they lost the ball, they had to immediately counter-snatch the first shot. If they did not snatch it, they had to withstand their own defending players and not run around with the ball.
- Key Defensive Zone: The midfielders 'defensive focus is in the rib area. This is where the opponent's attacking players can easily cut into the penalty area or cooperate. The center back had to defend against the opponent's passes and the ball behind him. He had to pay special attention to the defense of the opponent's players in the flank of his own half. He could not let the opponent's players have the opportunity to shoot long shots. Once the opponent's players shot, they had to block immediately.
** 2. Tactical training content **
1. ** Personal Skill Training **
- ** Passing Training **:
- ** Short Passing **: In a small square area (such as 10 meters x 10 meters), the players will form a group of two, with a distance of 5 - 8 meters, to practice short passing. The focus was on the accuracy and strength control of the pass from the inside of the foot. It was required that the movement of the pass was standard, the speed of the ball was moderate, and it could be accurately passed to the feet of the teammates.
- ** Long Pass **: Practice long passes in an area of 30 - 40 meters. A player placed the ball on the ground and used the outside of his foot or the front of his foot to pass the ball to a teammate far away. Practice the accuracy and strength of the long pass so that the long pass can go over the opponent's head and accurately land in the target area.
- ** Dribbling Training **:
- Straight dribbling: On a 20 - 30 meter long straight track, the player dribbles the ball from one end to the other. The players were required to dribble the ball with the inside or outside of their feet, control the speed and direction of the ball, and try not to let the ball leave their control.
- ** Changing direction dribbling **: Set up some obstacles (such as cone barrels) with a distance of 2 - 3 meters. The player dribbles the ball between the obstacles to practice changing direction dribbling. Practice the player's ability to change direction, be able to quickly change the direction of the ball, and break through the opponent's defense.
- Shooting Training:
- ** Fixed Point Shooting **: Set up shooting points at different positions in front of the goal (such as 5 meters, 10 meters, 15 meters, etc.), and the players will practice shooting from each shooting point. Focus on the accuracy of shooting, and ask the players to choose the appropriate shooting method according to their position (such as pushing the inside of the foot, volleying the instep, etc.).
- Shooting in motion: Set up a passer and a defender. The passer passes the ball to the running attacker. After the attacker receives the ball, he will practice shooting under the interference of the defender. To improve a player's ability to shoot under defensive pressure.
2. ** Group tactical training **
- **2 - 3 - 2 formation group training **:
- Offensive coordination training: In a 2 - 3 - 2 formation, the defenders will pass the ball to the midfielders, and the midfielders will organize the attack and coordinate with the strikers in a triangular pass. Practice how to push the ball near the opponent's penalty area through triangular passes under different defensive pressures and create shooting opportunities.
- "Defense coordination training: Simulate the opponent's offense and practice the forward players 'head-on defense, the midfielders' defense in the ribs, and the defenders 'defense against passing and passing. In the process of defense, it emphasized the distance between the players and the awareness of filling positions.
- **3 - 2 - 2 Formation Group Training **:
- Offensive coordination training: In a 3 - 2 - 2 formation, the defenders will cooperate with each other in short passes, then pass the ball to the midfielders, who will then pass the ball to the strikers. The focus was on how the midfielders could reasonably choose the timing and route of passing the ball during the attack, as well as how the strikers could run to receive the ball and shoot.
- Defense coordination training: When defending, the three defenders must shrink back to defend, and the two midfielders must retreat in time to assist in the defense. Practice how to maintain the overall defensive formation when the opponent attacks to prevent the opponent from breaking through the defensive line.
3. ** Overall tactical training **
- ** All-court confrontation training **:
- ** Tactical Execution **: Divide the team into two teams and conduct full-court confrontation training according to the selected tactical formation (such as 2 - 3 - 2 or 3 - 2 - 2).

- Primary school students might be nervous and anxious during the game because of the score, the pressure of the opponent, and other factors. The coach had to make mental adjustments to the players before and during the game to encourage them to relax and play to their best. For example, he could tell the players some relaxing jokes before the game, or let the players do some simple relaxation activities (such as deep breathing).
