on the 4 corners of the area is a coned area and outside that a small goal.

both teams to set up in a 2-3-3 formation.

aim:

either team start with the ball, attempt to play through around or over and into the corners to score a goal. to score the ball must have switched play from one touchline to the other and the player must be in red box to score. only 1 player from a team may be in box at one time.

once a team scores a goal, the opposition then get the oppotunity to attack.

SSG

following on from the MDG practise into a 8v8 + 2 goalkeepers.

full width but now box to box.

more game like but again stick to the principles of th echallenges, now to score a goal crosses should come from wide areas. to keep realism, if ball is played into goal area players can score but thats only 1 goal, if goal comes from a cross then its 3 goals to encourage the nswitch in play and cross to finish.

again challenges on first 10 mins no high press if possession is lost then team gets 10 seconmds to score and then will start in possession for the next series of plays.

2nd 10 mins the press can come once ball reaches the defender.

team in possession attempt to play through, around or over to creat overloads in wide areas and crossing oppotunites.
