Defending the Space (20 mins)

Attack v Defence - 5v4 overload inside orange zone.


Opposistion start with the ball - 

they look to play 3 successful passes before being able to attack.


GK to react to the type of through ball - 

If GK defends the space (white zone) successfully this counts as a double point.


Encourage GK to be in a high aggressive starting position.

GK has to decide if they can win the race to the ball.

GK has to look for triggers, through ball or long distance effort at goal.


Progression - 

Opposistion can now try a long distance effort after one pass to challenge GKs starting position.

Once the 3 passes completed now all opposition can attack - 

Defenders now able to work back to help out GK.
