Set Up

Pitch is set into 3rds, in one 3rd there is a 2v2 + 2 neutral wide players, and a 2v2 in end 3rd. The ball starts with the greens who are trying to play the ball into their teammates in the final 3rd. Once they play the ball they must push forward into the centre 3rd to support with the wide players and play to goal.. If whites win the ball, reset and repeat in other direction.

Coaching Points

- Start moving into a position to receive when the ball is rolling, so that you are an option at the earliest possible time.

- Find a position so your next pass or shot is achievable quickly, take as few touches as possible.
