MIDFIELD 4 V 4 ATTACKING 2 V2

PLAYERS MUST STAY WITH IN THERE 3RD OF THE PITCH UNLESS IN POSSESSION OF THE BALL IN WHICH THEY CAN PASS AND FOLLOW OR RUN THE BALL INTO NEXT 3RD CREATING AN OVER LOAD, EITHER 3V 2 OR 5V4 SITUATION,

IF PLAY IS INTERCEPTED THEN THE PLAYERS MUST ROTATE BACK TO THERE ORIGINAL POSTIONS EITHER DEFENSIVE OR MIDFIELD.

ENCOURAGE THE TEAM IN POSSESSION TO PLAY THROUGH THE 3RDS TO CREATE THE OVERLOAD.
