Objective: To prepare the players technically for a session, with a focus on the AT moment.

Organization: 20x20, 4 goals, 8 players (2 neutrals, 3 red, 3 white) (x3).

Conditions of play: Red team start in possession, they score a point if they can hit each target neutral player (must be a red player playing the target and can't be the same target consecutively). The white team can score 3 points if they win possession and can score in any of the 4 goals on the opposite sides to the targets. 6 minutes 'Attacking' & 6 minutes 'Defending' (90 second rest between sets)

Coaching points (Team Defending):

Encourage defending team to be aggressive in the pressure they apply and try to create defensive over loads where possible.
Force the negative pass
When in transition, first touch out of pressure then quickest route to goal.
Supporting the play when in transition to create space to score.

Restarts: Ball starts in the defending end zone with the player

Coaching points:

Compactness between lines out of possession, prevent penetration or switching of play between lines.
When possession is won, ensure the 2 support, 1 stretch principle is active as this replicates zone 2/3.
Recognition of imbalances in transition, can the team in the AT moment take advantage?
Being brave on the ball and wanting to drive into space.
