Progression 2

Session Area

Set up 30x20 yards set up on centre circle of pitch.

Set Up

4 vs 4 with 4 players on the outside of grid in three different sides.

Blues start with the ball looking to maintain posession. Can use players on the outside again who are again limited to two touches.

If opposition team wins the ball i.e. reds they have to pass the ball to whites on the outside.

Reds will then switch with whites. Reds now outside players with whites now the attacking team.

Again if blues win the ball from whites they need to get ball to reds and switch again.

Diamond shape when outside player has the ball.

Importance of a fast and tight pressing game for team without the ball.

Aim to win the ball back within six seconds.
