Key Factors - Playing out from the back - Defensive transition 

Feedback - Terminal to control physical output

Work Rest Ratio - 3:1

Organisation - 30 x 30 ( Depending in space 1/2 a 7 aside pitch)

1) Assistant Coach Plays ball into keeper who collects

Defenders ensure the ball is secure with keeper before making moves to receive 

2) Once keeper has the ball secure he looks to play out from the back

3) 2 defenders as per screen in red, take position wide to receive 

4) 2 defenders plus one CM now have to work the ball against the FW and CM (Blue) 

5) Reds Play to either LW (Blue) - Assistant coach- or RM (Blue) 

6) as soon as either Blue LW - RM have received the ball they attack and reds have the defensive transition Blues 4 - three 

Time limit on Transition on blue to attack potentially 15 secs to score.

If reds manage to win the ball they break and can either dribble past half way line, or Pass into assistant coach
