TRAINING SESSIONS
Training at JFA Academy Fukushima
This section introduces how training is conducted at JFA Academy Fukushima, based on three themes: Build-up, Finishing, and Pressing.
Each theme is shown through full training session footage and a corresponding session plan. While watching the footage, the Academy Director explains what the staff pay attention to during training and how the session is organised on the pitch.
The focus is on how ideas from match analysis are reflected in daily practice, and how players are guided within the training environment. The sessions are shared as reference material that coaches can observe and adapt to their own context.

Pressing
This session focuses on building play under pressure, with particular attention to the use of the goalkeeper. The session looks at positioning, support, and how numerical advantages are created through movement and tempo.
Finishing
This session focuses on preparing to shoot in front of goal. Attention is given to off-the-ball movement, losing markers, and being ready to act the moment a shooting opportunity opens up.
Build Up
This session focuses on increasing awareness of winning the ball. The training looks at the roles of the first defender and covering players, how passing lanes are limited, and how collective pressure is applied.
