SSG - 3 v 2(+GK) (15 mins)
SSG - 3 v 2 (+GK)
In essence, the players are split into 3v3 teams. The only way that they can score is by creating an overlap, underlap, give and go, drop ball etc.
3 reps of 5 minutes - Use the 5 mintes as rotations for players
To make it competitive, 1 goal for every attacking goal and 2 points for every defending goal. Play first to 5 points and make changes then if needs to be done before the 15 minute mark.

Game - 9v9 (25 mins)
Game - 9v9
Focus is not the amount of goals or goal scoring
Give the players strict orders that for them to score, they must perform a supporting attacking move in the build up to the goal.
If supporting movements start to deteriorate, set them a challenge of doing an overlap/underlap, give and go etc. But let the players make the decision first before you intervene.

90 Seconds - Pass & Move through middle third (dribble out)
90 Seconds - Pass & Move through middle third (Pass out)
90 Seconds - Pass & Move through middle third (pass into a player who is stationed in the middle third, then a player transitions through with a Give & Go)
90 Seconds - Pass & Move (No one is now positioned into the middle third, players must move and transition through naturally -
