Attacking Combinations (50 mins)

Set Up

We play 5 v 5 with a team of 5 spread around outside the area as support players

Play attackers vs defenders with balls being fed in from coach or outside players. After every goal scored play starts with coach and attacking team try to score again.

Change responsibilites/teams after 5 mins

Progressions

If defending team win possession they have to pass it to one of the outside target players. If successful that team then become the attacking team.

If GK catches the ball he tries to play out from the back for the defensive team.
