Position Specific

Organization: 

Specific MD+2

Half pitch 

Blocks = 4x4mins 

Block 1 bounce 

Block 2 - touch line then touch cross 

Block 3 - pull back cross 

Block 4 - free play 

Ball will start with the two center backs exchanging passes before releasing to the #6 to play out wide for a 1v1 with a cross into the box for the #9 and opposite winger to come onto. Play will then start with the other center back playing into the 6 to receive and play forwards. The defending team will have 6 seconds to find either goal to score double points or play it longer into the other Center backs for 1 point. To progress, the long ball can go into the 9 who then plays to the 6 then out the opposite side to create another realistic picture.
