THE SESSION:

Every player gets a partner. Players play 8 v 2. If a player or his partner loses possession they go on defense.When the defenders win the ball they join the other players on offense. Players should play quick, 1 - 2 touch with proper body positioning.

- Defenders hold pinnies in their hand. When they earn their way to offense they drop the pinnies and the next two defenders need to pick them up before they defend.

5v5+2 Switch of Play (20 mins)

SetUp

24x40 field with 24x6 wide zones, 1 goal

2 Teams of 5v5, 1 keeper and 1 neutral player

Organization

2 teams play 5v5. Attacking team (red) must score by playing the ball from one wide zone to the other. The defending team (white) must win the ball and score on the goal, following which they become the new attacking team. Outside/wide players cannot be tackled but must stay in the wide zones during the transition to allow a 5v3 situation.

Coaching Points

-Encourage patience from the attacking team when the ball is wide, quicker tempo through the middle. --Attacking team should be careful and precise in possession, dont force a pass that is not there.

-Keep the ball on one side through short passes before quickly switching play to the other side

-Quick and positive transitions from both teams
