2.30m third block

Support coach to feed the ball into the GK who will then pass it to one of the attackers. Simple 3 attackers v 2 defenders. Attackers to use width & depth. Defenders to come out at pace and as a unit. If defenders win back ball they are to try and pass the ball back to the support coach. 1 goal if attackers score & 1 goal if defenders return ball to support coach.

Progression:

Mini goals introduced and if defenders win ball they have 5 seconds to score in the mini goal. This equals 2 goals. 

If attackers score using an overlap or a first time finish in the box they would get 2 goals.

Regressions: If it is too difficult for the defenders I would limit time on ball for attackers. 

Challenges: If certain players are having a lot of  success I would challenge them to use the weak foot or limit the touches on the ball.
