Session Overview (20 mins)

Setup: Pitch setup split into thirds, two teams.

The team in possession can move around the area freely to try and score a goal.

The team out of possession look to defend and win the ball back to score.

In the diagram you can see the red team are making a forward pass into another third, this will mean the two blue players in their final third (shaded blue) are stuck/locked in until their team wins the ball back. The team in possession should be able to punish the defending team if this happens by creating an overload in the middle and final third.

Optional: poles are placed at the half way point of the pitch if you want to use offsides.Equally can just call offsides in the final thirds.
