20x10 channels

1 ball between 2 players
Instructions:

Use neutrals as support players on the side of the channel, can move up and down to provide supporting angle
Attacker uses support player to combine and get in behind defender
Repeat in opposite direction with roles reversed
Switch with the support players after set period or number of combinations
If extra players, they are 'on deck' at ends of channel
Coaching Points:
Drive at the front foot of defender
Commit the defender to steal
Play the ball to the support player using nearest surface - Outside of foot
Accelerate past and receive the ball
Support player use a few touches as possible to return ball
Consider playing to support player and standing still, get the ball back to feet if the defender does not pressure. Draw defender out of position with patient play.

Organization:
20x10 yard area
Line marked at half with cones
4 players per grid (extra players 'on deck')
Plenty of soccer balls
Instructions:
Players play in 1v1 game to score a goal
Each half of the field has a neutral (yellow)
Neutral plays only for the player attacking the goal they are closest to
Neutral cannot score
Rotate players after set period
Coaching:
1v1 attacking skills - engage defender, be positive and try to score quickly
Using neutral - can you find neutral quickly with penetrating pass
Position of neutral - get open so there is a pathway for the ball
Combination play - movement after penetrating pass, get in behind defender to score
Using neutral in attacking half creates mentality of playing forwars quickly and unbalancing defender
