25 mins
Organization:
- 30 x 30 yards, 5 v 2 high pressure rondos. Swap out defenders every 2 minutes
Instructions:
- Swap with a defender if you lose the ball
- Players can pass the ball back to the neutral player that gave them the ball to avoid losing possession
Coaching Points/Questions:
- Players should be thinking a step ahead and taking up good positions to facilitate a switch once there's an overload
- Look to move defenders about and split them with a pass
- Correct body shape when passing and receiving
- Use of 1 touch passes to speed up the play
- Players should be looking to combine and make triangles, and constantly moving towards potential passing lanes
Regressions/Progressions:
- Add goals on each end, defenders have to score in either goal once the ball is won to swap to offense
- Defenders can work together. The second defender picks out any attacker at random to swap with on successful combinations leading to goals
