7v8 - Att v Def (30 mins)

Instructions:

• Attack (3-2-3) v Defenders (4-2-1) Phase of play game with three channels. Only wide players can be in the wide zone, to create visuals for 10s to stay central.
• The defending teams aim is to win possession, if they can score in the mini goal within 3 passes they get 1 point. Or 2 points if they score in the big goal in 4 passes.
• The wide players only become active when they receive in the wide zone, after this they are live.
• The ball starts with the GK of the attacking team, and the def unit must be above the offside line ahead of the next ball entry. 

Coaching Points:

• Ball speed to shift defenders - create spaces.
• Players between lines (CM)/Wingers on last line or between lines depending on position of ball.
• Movements of the CM's/ST to get into positions to receive and score/crosses lashed low and hard into space.
• Finish quickly, don't look at the goal, harder for GK's.
• Wingers play on the shoulder, look to get behind FB. ST always on last line occupying CB's.

Progressions/Regressions:

• 2 touch limit to progress ball speed, shifting the defenders quicker to open up gaps.
• Different entry points for the initial ball in, aerial duel, 50/50 challenge etc. 

Teams:

• (3-2-3) - Nolan, Degny, Mark, DD Will, Roger, Ivory, Rashod
• (4-2-1) - Amir, Damola, Mike, Tristan, Liam, Oakley, Alex
