Defending the long pass SSG (20 mins)

Defending the long ball SSG

One grid divided into 2 grids. The top grid is 10x30 and the bottom grid is 20x30.

Balls, Pinnies, cones and nets.

Play starts from the target players and ball is played into 10x30 grid where a 4v2 begins. Players in possession can either look to dribble into the 20x30 grid or shoot to goal if no pressure is applied. Defenders in the 20x30 grid need to protect the goals from a dribble or shot (Long ball). Defending team can score by playing the ball to the target players.
