-The ball can be passed back and forth between phases if needed

-If the IN POSSESSION team (red) can play through both phases and score a pass into the mini goals they will get 3 points, If they miss a phase and score a pass into the mini goal they will revieve 1 point

-OUT OF POSSESSION (blue) team aim to win the ball back in their designated zone and play forward to score a goal

Ball goes out of play the game is dead and restarts back with the goalkeeper

Playing into strikers (30 mins)

Aim;

The aim of the game is for the in possession team to build from the back using their numerical advantage and score points by passing into the mini goals which are acting as strikers.

Conditions;

-Wide players CAN ONLY recieve the ball in the wide zones but can dribble into the end zone (shaded area) when in posession of the ball. OUT OF POSSESSION they can only tackle in their wide zone and must make themselves available for the counter attack.

-Two CBs can move freely up to the end zone (shaded area)

-Out of posession team can tackle anywhere on the pitch and aim to win the ball back and finish the counter attack (6 seconds to score once possession is regained)

Ball goes out of play, the game is dead and restarts from the out of possession team who begins the practice again.

Coaching Points;

IN POSSESSION TEAM -

- Be patient in possession, wait for openings and overload oportunities

- Wide players movement up and down their zone to make themselves available for overload oportunities (combination play) or forward runs to create line breaking passing opportunities

OUT OF POSSESSION TEAM -

- Press and cover, make play predictable

- Finish the attack quickly to capitalise on 3v2 situation
