Rules
Round 1:
Reds play 3v2 to break the line.
Once they do, the third Red (in the half-space) joins the attack = 4v3.
If Yellow wins the ball, they counter quickly to score.
Round 2:
Yellow defenders must stay in their zones (e.g., central only) until the line is broken.
Encourages Reds to identify when to break lines without pressure recovering.
Round 3:
Yellow defenders can now recover into the 3v2 phase after the line is broken.
One additional Red (from behind or side) can join the attack to maintain overload or support transition.
Coaching Points:
Create 2v1 Situations:Use intelligent positioning and movement to overload one side of the field.
Passing Angles:Constantly shift to receive between lines with minimal pressure.
Body Shape:Stay open to allow forward play and quicker decision-making.
Forward Play:Prioritize forward passes and support with forward runs to connect with the highest player.
Central Combinations:Encourage vertical and horizontal combinations through the middle
