Condition - 8v6+3 (20 mins)

 Organization: - half field or similar size

- 11v6 or similar

- counter endzone

- 3 'pressing' endzones

- attacking #1/2/3/4/5/6/8/10 - 7/9/11 in endzone as targets

- defending #6/7/8/9/10/11

Instructions: - attacking team play to counter endzone target 7/9/11

- defending team starts squence outside pressing endzone - pick moment to all press 

- when ball is one of the 3 pressing endzone, min 2 defending players need to be in that endzone pressing 

- if possession in won defenders go to big goal

- if possession is won in the pressing endzones and goal is scored = 3points 

Coaching Points: - cues to press - bad touch, head down, receive ball facing own goal, 2/3 cuts inside

- 9 cutting off CBs, 7/11 tight on oppo 2/3s

- 6/8/10 man mark oppo 6/8/10

- 9 joins 7/11 in pressing out wide - cut off ball back to CBs

- 7/11 joins 9 in central pressing endzone to force ball inside where we're numbers even 

Progression: - attacking 7/9/11 can drop in area to receive 

Regression: - make field narrower - smaller pressing endzone for easier defending

- no target 7/9/11 - attacking team pass into counter endzone 

- add central area for all 6s/8s/10s - contain the midfielders from pressing too high or wide
