2 v 1 Wingback Cross (20 mins)

Functional Practice designed to improve wingback and midfield passing combination play as well as getting the wingback involved in the attack.

Wingback and Attacking Mid have a 2 v 1 advantage

Blue Defender starts with passive defense only (no tackling, just pass intercepting)

Once the Wingback has beat the defender he drives to the 18 and crosses into the box

The striker and Winger make curved runs timed with the run of the wingback to stay onsides.

Wingbacks: 9v9 with wide alleys (25 mins)

To encourage wingbacks to get up and involved in the attack the wide ally-ways can only be populated by the 4 wingbacks

around midfield the wide ally is a passive defense only, (meaning you may not tackle or take the ball from the other player.... you may intercdpt a poor pass pr lost dribble)

In the attacking 1/3 of the field the wide ally is active defending (wingbacks are allowed to tackle)

Wingbacks are encouraged to drive the ball forward and make crosses into the box.

Central defenders move wide when wingers are up

1 defensive mid moved back to play a "sweeper" like position on attack and back to the midfield on defense

Forward wingers have been removed from this scrimmage to enourage the use of the wingbacks.

Field Setup:

2/3 field length (70 yards)
