Set Up: 35-40 x 25 yard grid with two nets at either end. 2 15 yard grids at either corner (bring in closer for younger players) Two even teams with 3-4 players in each box, with strikers waiting on the outside of the box.

Instructions: The coach will serve in balls to both squares and after a set number of passes, the players in the box must outlet the ball to a waiting striker, and one of the players in the box must join the waiting striker who can either turn and finish or lay off the ball to the supporting player who then finishes. 

Variations or Constraints: Add in a defender who applies pressure to the striker after the ball has been played in, to make it opposed. Add in or take out attacking players or defenders.

Coaching Points: supporting runs must be timed and not before a ball is player through to the striker.

3v2 Counter Attack (20 mins)

The concept of this session is to encourage a quick transition from the offensive side of the ball to the defensive side of the ball. 

  • Players, 1,2, & 3 from the Pink will start the attack & Players A, & B from the red team will defend. 
  • Once the 3 Pink attacking players cross the halfway point of the grid, players 4, & 5 from the pink team will slide in behind to act as defenders when the counter attack comes at them.
  • Once the sequence of attack is over (pink is dispossessed of the ball or it goes out of bounds) Players 1,2 & 3 will leave the grid.
  • When the ball is won by red or the play is dead, player C from red will join in the counter attack with players A, & B.
  • Players 4, & 5 will now defend against the Red counter attack.

The continuous rotation of counter attacking and defending repeats.  

Focus: Defending players sliding in behind attacking team mates. Quick transition from defending to attacking.
