4v4+3 - Adjust to 3v3+3 based on numbers (17 total)

Object of the game is to connect to the far target player for 1 point.  Focus on the defensive players first to deny the through pass.

Play 3x5' - 18' total

Coaching points:

- Pressure and cover roles

- Communicate! What's your job? (including GK)

- Angle of approach to force the correct way (outside into a 1v1, inside to cover)

- Pick your moments to press! (bad touch, head down, back to you, pass backwards)

- If not pressing, cut passing/shooting lanes

- DON'T GET SPLIT

- How can you cover a man and a split?

- Can you invite the team in possession to play somewhere and then press? (introduce outside press)

Can also use a big goal in central channel of the defending 6.  

If defending 6 can win the ball in the wide channels and it leads to a goal, worth 3 points.  All other goals are worth 1 point.  

Coaching points: 

- Be patient!  wait for the cues to press

- Cut passing lanes first, then close down

- Cover a man and a space

- Move together!  Leave the weak side players.  You have time to get there if they switch

- Take away their midfield 3.  Force them to play around the backline/on the flanks.  If MF drops into a wide channel, perfect, compact the space
