Method: 2 zones, players dribble around their assigned zones. Red team are numbered as are the blue team players & the red team players can only look to attack when its their turn. Players whos number 1 on red team decides when he wants to go, and must then drive at pace into the blue team zone. His opposite number must react and get over to the red team zone in a race. 


Progress to play 1v1 in middle (highlighted zone) with aim for attacking player to still get into opposite zone. 

Coaching Points: Awareness of space & opposition players, sharp turns - change of speed and direction, small touches keeping ball under control in zone - big touches when running into opposite zone in space

Method: 2 4v2 games place at same time with 2 players waiting in central highlighted zone. Offside line exists to encourage runs in behind. When a team scores, the opposition should look to counter attack quickly via the goalkeeper. The team who has just conceded must swap one player with player waiting in central zone quickly to avoid overloads whereas it will offer a chance to counter attack quickly for other team. 

2. Progress - when a team scores, nearest man from defending team can take a ball from the central zone and restart play quickly to start a counter attack and look to score quickly. 

Coaching Points: Look to score/create chances quickly - move ball and tempo of play. Stretch opposition with runs in behind - arc runs to stay onside. Forward positive play/thinking. Be creative on the ball.

Method: 2 teams, one defending team one attacking team.  Attacking team will look to keep the ball in the final third with aim to score - all attacking team must be in final third to score. Defending team defend as normal and look to play forward quickly to their target man once they win the ball back to look to score on the counter attack. 

Coaching Points: speed of play - attack quickly to catch opposition unbalanced. Options ahead of the ball - commit numbers forward quickly to support hold up play. Movements to receive/run into space. Positive thinking in possession.
