Game

Set Up

Teams set up as shown. Reds are attacking from top to bottom.

Players are restricted to the areas as shown except -

when the midfield play into the striker, 2 midfield players must join in to make a 3 v 2.

The ball MUST be played through the thirds.

How To Play

Normal rules but no offsides.

The team that scores restarts play from their keeper.

Possible Coaching Points

Attacking - patience in possession if there is no forward pass. (Particularly in defending third).

Midfield rotation to get on the ball.

Good passing & support.

Fast passes into the striker when it is "on".

Fast transition to attacking third to support the attack.

Defending - Forward player try to make play predictable.

Press hard in midfield to try to win the ball back.

Defensive third try to hold up the striker, watch where the runners are coming from.

Be brave - block shots.

Progressions

Allow defenders to pass from back to front.

Go into free play but coach the principles of the previous practices.
