Napoli Playing Out Game (20 mins)

20 x 30 grid split in half. 3 v 3 in each half directional game. Team in possession can use any of the red neutrals to help them build out and into the attacking half. Game is scored by scoring into one of the 2 corner goals in your attacking half. Once a goal is scored team who got scored on gets to start with the ball.

Position numbers are for blue, and would be reveresed for yellow.

Switching using our wingers as well (15 mins)

We have now added our 3 mids with our back 4 to play aganist the opposition's 3 forwards and 2 AMs. Blue must get the ball out of the back, into one of the wingers and then look to play back through to switch the pitch to the other side. If yellow wins they attack the goal 5 v 7.
