- Two teams split equally, two neutral wingers & one GK.
- Starting from the coach, they feed the ball into one of two teams fairly each attempt to counter-attack.
- The team in possession have to complete a number of passes before breaking out of the area, playing to either winger and counter-attacking.
- The team in possession can use both wingers whilst attacking, and if needed, whilst trying to complete the number of passes.
- If the defending team win back the ball, they try to play the ball back to the coach.
- An attacking position can be added to make it more game realistic, with a defender marking & competing for the possession.
- Swapping the wingers & attackers after so many attempts (numbers to make it fair).
Progression
- Make the area bigger, remove the wingers and/ or the striker to allow players to make the choice when comfortable.
Focus
- Forward & through balls when breaking
- Type of runs into the attacking third
- Identifying the right time to counter-attack

Setup:
Half a field with 2 big goals
Balls behind each goal.
Activity:
(1) - GK distributes to 3 attackers versus 2 defenders and tries to score in big goal.
(2) - Once defending team wins possession (or GK makes save), 2 extra attackers join in to play 4v3 the other direction.
Coaching Points:
~ Attacking the overloads - find 2v1's
~ Use diagonal runs & overlaps to attack single defender
~ If can't go to goal, get to endline for cutback cross
~ Preparing for the counterattack (balance in attack)
