Right Side Group 1 - Tobi, Jack, Andre, Theo

Right Side Group 2 - Chinedu, Demi, Archie, Ife

Left Side Group 3 - Cory, Chapman, Alex, Bampoh

Practice Starts with RED FB INSIDE turning out with a chop safe side and passing to RED Winger. BLUE FB presses at speed semi opposed and shows outside. If the Blue FB presses with a direction to block the pass inside then the 10 can make an inside run, if the FB presses to block the forward pass then the winger can play a 1-2 off the CAM. Additionally the winger can dribble at the FB 1v1 - once in the box the defender can tackle. From here the objective is to deliver a cross/pass into the mini goals representing crossing priority areas.

If BLUE FB is able to block the pass and win the ball it becomes a 1v3 duel where the Blue must get into the shaded zone before they can pass into the mini goal or dribble through wide RED gate to score.

Rotate players every turn and swap after 5 minutes.
