Players rotate from 1-5 (follow pass), GK swaps every 3 shots

Each Pattern is 4 minutes continuous, 1-minute coaching/rest break in between.

Pattern 1:

1 wall pass towards goal with 2, 1 takes a shot to the goalkeeper's hands.

GK throws the ball into 3 to start build-up.

3 wall-pass with 4 up the line, 3 passes into 5.

5 lays off to 4 for a wall pass before passing to 1.

7v5 Build Up w/ GK (30 mins)

7v5 Build Up w/ GK

Played on a half field with an endzone extending 15 yards into the half from the midfield line. A full-sized goal on the end line and two mini-goals set 15 yards wide of the kickoff dot on each side.

The attacking team sets up with a back 4 and 2 CM. The CMs must play inside the endzone. Their objective is to find a CM and overload the endzone with a forward-running player to score in the mini-goals at Midfield.

The defensive team sets up with a ST, LW, RW, and 2 CMs. The CMs must stay in the endzone unless they win possession, then 1 of them can advance up the field. Their objective is to deny passes to the attacking CMs, and if they win the ball they attack the goal to score.

Play three 8-minute games, with 2 minutes rest in between.

COACHING FOCUS: Emphasize to the GK when the time to play directly into CMs; if the front 3 are applying high pressure, a long pass to break the line is required. If the defending front 3 are not applying pressure, look for short and wide passes to pull the pressure to one side and unlock the switch.
