Runs and Finishing in the box

Play 2 v 2 in the middle with each team having 4 outside players they can pass to. Only the 2 players in the middle can score. Offensively speaking, the drill uses 6 attacking players similar to the front 6 of a 4-4-2 with the 2 in the middle being the central midfielders. The two out wide are the outside midfielders.

The two on the endline are like back to goal forwards. While having them on the endline is somewhat unrealistic the positives out way the negatives as there are a lot more scoring opportunities with them there. To help the players understand it visually, think of them as players who got endline and are playing cut back crosses.

Limit the outside players to one or two touches. With two touches the ball can't stop moving. If they are skilled enough make it one touch.

Outside players can play to outside players.

Make sure there are a number of balls in each goal.

Winners stay on. Losers rotate. The 2 players on the field go to the endline. The two endline players rotate to the wide positions and the wide players move on to the field and play. See diagram 3 below.

The winners race back and grab a ball out of their own net and begin play. They do NOT wait for the yellow team to get organized.

Game like runs in box

play 4v4 +2. 2 neutrals stay on their half only. 4v4 in middle may go anywhere. One team starts with ball on their defending half and tries to pass until they can hit a neutral target on attacking half (7 or 11). The four then race into box to make seam runs and score.

Progression (or normal game): Both 7 and 11 may enter box once a neutral has been played (6v4 to goal.)

Teams can only score from their attacking half after hitting a neutral player, even on counters. (unless there are goalkeepers inserted.)
