SetUp
2x30x30 area, full size goal
3 defenders, 2 attackers, one team resting. One team defends, one attacks and one rests
Instructions
Attacking players in Green, after reveiving a pass from the GK, must combine to create space and set up a shot on goal. Defenders in Yellow must work on staying compact (banana, triangle defending) and preventing penetration
If the defending team wins the ball they counter to small goals and pass to waiting players who become the attackers
If the ball goes out of play or a goal is scored, play starts again with GK, with the white team now becoming the new attacking team
Rotate defenders and attacker positions after 6 minutes
Progressions
Introduce high press
Coaching Points
Deny space & time - close down quickly
