4v4 + 4 (4grids) (10 mins)

4V4 + 4 in 4 grids ( 20X20 grid divided into 4 5X5 smaller grids).

Divide players into 3 groups of 4 (4 attackers, 4 defenders, 4 neutrals). Attacking players must maintain 1 player per smaller grid at all times, defenders can track or switch. Play 2 touch, when ball is played to outside players they, both players on the end must touch the ball.

Progrssion: Play 1 touch in the middle.

Coaching Points: Movement to create space for yourself and/or team mates, receive the ball on the movement to play quicker, look to play between the lines of defense, be aware of your team mates positioning, communicate, passes should be made to space to encourage movement. Outside players should move to position themseves to play quickly as well.

3v2 X 3 possession to create scoring opportunities

Divide the attacking third into 3 zones; 1 inside the 18 yard box and 2 in the space between the 18 yard  box and the sideline.

Play 3v2 in each zone, moving the ball in order to create a service to score or switch the ball into another zone.

Coaching Points:  Players should take up positions in order to play the ball quickly, move to unbalance defense in order to play the ball into dangerous positions, movement to score goals, first touch to maintain possession or attack the space.
