3 teams- 2 in the middle playing and 1 on the outside as common players for team in possession

4x3 minute games- Team rests on outside for 1 round before coming back on. 1-minute break in between

Match intensity, quick fire games

Conditions: Limit of 2 touch for all players

-When winning the ball back if team can get a shot on goal and score within 5 seconds= double points

Progression- Common players on the outside limited to 1 touch

Principles focusing on:

Attacking- Creating width to draw out opposition

-Utilising the overloads to attack

Defending- Pressing in high areas

- Protecting central areas

-Forcing the play into wide areas

Key information-

-Quick ball movement

-Utilising overload on outside to help get yourself the other side of marker

-Quick reaction when losing the ball to go and win it back

-Intensity of defending

-Body angles when pressing opposition player in possession to show outside into wide areas

-Pressing as units, when one player goes, the next person has to back them up with a press from behind

-Quick transition when winning the ball and looking to attack, can you score within 5 seconds of winning the ball back?
