4v4 Directional (20 mins)

Set-Up: 8 players in an 18 yard x 22 yard grid

Organization: Both teams attack the opposite endline. The attacking team plays with 4 players to begin. When the defending team of 3 wins the ball, they have a choice to immediately attack 3v4 and dribble over line or to maintain possession and bring in the 4th player. If the team chooses to pass back to the 4th player, the player joins the game, and the team that lost possession must drop a player off the field to defend with 3.

Time: 2.5 minute intervals; 90 second rest; 3-4 repetitions 

Points: Attack - team shape to maximize space to play; read positioning of the defenders to determine when to play wide or when to penetrate centrally; body shape to maximize choices and to threaten penetration

Defense - organize to prevent penetration, and then to attempt to lock the ball on a side to win it in a small space
