Description: 

4v2 quick counter attack drill. DF player lined up at goal post. Players even out lines at the starting cones(red). To start the drill as per coaches instructions, players will jog/sprint to the tall cone across from them. Round off the tall cone and drop back. Upon dropping back, center players will decide who will receive a pass from the coach by communicating with teammate and calling for the ball. Receiving player looks to play the ball forward to either wing, then all four will attack the other half of the field and look to score. Df players look to close down space as AT players round off the tall cones 

Coaching points:
