3 Zone Check (20 mins)

Tight grid

Make 2 groups 

3v3 in each end third of the field.

In this example Red looks to possess and find a Red forward dropping into the middle third to link up. 1 player can join in the middle to create a 2v1. It then becomes a 4v3 attacking to the small counter goals. Once Red loses the ball, the extra player must return to there third.

FOCUS ON-

- Look to make first pass forward.

- Quick 1 touch bounce passes

- Hard driven ball into target

- Second/third action after the pass to create space and find the ball

- PATIENCE IN POSSESSION

- LINK UP PLAY | If the center players checks, finding the quick combo with the wide players. If the wide players check, finding the underneith pass to play forward and exposing the space created out wide.

- CONNECTING THE LINES

- COMBINATION PLAY IN THE FINAL THIRD
