Futsal Formations / Tactics -  a review during real play

For Level 1 and Level 2 coaches LCC EVENT. 

Within the CPD the participants shall review both teams' tactics in possession and out of possession with a focus upon performance. The aim of the in possession tactics is to create defensive imbalances, therefore creating opportunities for the players to create, exploit and maintain space with the ball. Contrasting to this, the out of possession tactics is to deny forward passing opportunities and to defend the key areas of the court, minimising goal scoring opportunities, yet promoting positive transitions upon regaining possession.

Tactics shall be reviewed around the state of the game, ‘why’ specific tactics shall be used, and what tactics could be implemented. Examples of tactics in possession (3-1 formation, 2-2 and 4-0). Examples of tactics out of possession (Full court press - man to man, half court, zonal defending).

Within the CPD the participants shall have an opportunity to discuss their thoughts around these and shall debate around the comments.

The participants shall be watching Loughborough Futsal club vs Genesis Futsal club in the FA Super League play-offs. Post game, there shall be discussion with both team managers to review any tactics that may have been implemented, and to delve into their minds around ‘why’ they adopted the specific tactics and how the game may have influenced their decisions.
