Field Size: 24 x 24
Players: 5 x 2 and 1 x 1
Who: 4,5,6,8,10,9
Where: Middle and attacking third
When: When there are are gaps between the defenders
What: Off the ball we are splitting the defenders, then connecting the pass. This is most successful when we form triangles and diamonds.
Why: To advance the ball up the field with the least resistance.
Game:
Objective: Spread the defenders so that you can play through the line
Ball starts in square for 3v2 with red. Play to the 1v1. Once played to the 1v1 one defender and two attackers join.
Modifications:
- Add number of pass minimum before playing into 2nd zone
- more preferred- cannot turn then play into 2nd zone, must receive and play into second zone already facing forward
Coaching points:
- looking to break line into 2nd zone
- body shape and depth of supporting angle to make entry pass simple
- speed of joining in player
- 1v1 player, turn and drive at defender if space - hold off player and connect if no space

Setup:
Same as phase 1, but now with 1 player in end zone with no opposition.
Each team has a ball.
Instruction:
Teams try to play through each other look for the end zone player to score 1 point. Active defending in zones, with opposition trying to score their own goals and also preventing through balls. After ball is played into end zone, the end zone (striker/CF) has to shoot on goal before crossing light blue cones.
Play starts from the back again. If ball is intercepted, the ball is gently pushed out of play by opposition.
- Play the game with head up as much as possible to help make quicker decisions
- Punch the ball into TM's feet
- In possession - Have a go when the opportunity is there to play forwards.
- Out of possession - Try to take up better positions to support TM's
