Exploiting and Managing the Counter Attack (40 mins)

ORGANISATION

Set up the field as per the diagram.

Split the group into two teams of equal size.

Play 5 v 5

If the Defenders regain possession, they counter. The original Attackers can COUNTER-PRESS up to the 1/2 way line.

As soon as the new attackers cross the 1/2 way line the original attackers get off the pitch and recover to their station, and the 5 new defenders that are waiting in their 23 can exit the 23 and close down/defend.

Change it Up!!

V1.1

Play around with the numbers. eg. have only 4 new D's waiting and play 4 v 5 (allow one player to join in to make it 5v5 if D's win the ball)

V1.2

Allow one or more of the original Attackers to "jump back" (recover) past ehe 1/2 way line to create a defensive overload etc.
