Session: Quick break in attacking transition from zone 3 in replicating a 3-4-2-1 formation.
Organization: Ball starts in the 20x20 area with red in possession in a 3v4 and they are attempting to score in one of the 2 mini goals depicted by red cones. When blue win the ball back they play the ball to one of the 3 blues outside the grid and are then attacking in a 7v4.
Progression 1: Make the blue team play one pass in the grid after they win the ball before playing out (ie securing possession).
Progression 2: Add a second red center back so its 7v5.
Progression 3: Remove a blue from the grid so that its 3v3 and turns into a 6v5
Coaching points: Blues in the grid utilize the defensive overload to create the turn over in possession. Win the ball back and be direct with passing and movement afterwards. 8secs to get a shot off ie not a patient possession build up and break down. Use mobility to utilize numbers up and create overloads/underloads. Creative movement in and around the box to create good goalscoring opportunities.

Session: Phase of play quick attack in a 4-2-1 (replicating 3-4-2-1) vs 4-2-1 (4-2-3-1).
Restarts begin with coach playing ball into red midfielder or defender. Red try to score in goal at half. Blue win the ball back and go to goal.
Coaching points: Work on blues movement of striker and wingbacks in attacking transition. Striker checks to the ball, 1 of the 2 attacking mids makes runs beyond the striker. Wingbacks get wider to make sure we make the field as big as possible.
