A few years ago I read that the best decisions are made from the best positions and not a truer thing has been said in relation to invasion sports, such as Aussie Rules Football.
A lot of time is put into making things happen in different parts of the ground but without full team cohesion across the ground, it usually falls down pretty quick or it doesn't hold for very long.
For example you can work on clearance work but if the rest of your team isn't set up to capitalise on them then you might get more clearances, but then you end up not getting much from them scoreboard wise.
If I had to name the biggest thing besides talent that can be successful in local/amateur football, then it has to be organisation which can actually make lesser talent, look more talented than they actually are.
And this is where team formations come into play.
The most popular formation local/amateur teams work on is the zone defense against an opposition kick out and we'll often spend 30mins on that alone in some training sessions!
This indeed suggests that we think formations are important enough to dedicate time to, but us coaches need to train them far more often then we do.
Just be aware that the formation won't do the work for you but getting back to my original statement, players will be able to make better decisions from better positions, if they're in them, and that's what consistent team formations can do.
I go on to show different used in different ground locations such as:
- MIDDLE OF THE GROUND
- MID 50 BOUNDARY THROW IN
- MID 50 IN GENERAL PLAY
