ORGANIZATION:

Field of 30y x 20y. Five attackers against two defenders. The five attackers play on ball possession, while the two defenders try to win the ball. Defenders must either dribble the ball out of the grid or connect a pass with each other. This is a BLITZ moment for the 5 attackers. Switch defenders every 90 seconds or two minutes. Players who are resting dribble along cones or play 1v1.

Game: 10 consecutive passes =1 point, every completed interception = 1 point.

COACHING POINTS:

Technique:

• Pass with the correct speed to the correct foot. Receive with the furthest foot to open up.

Tactical Attacking:

• Outside backs (2 and 3) go low or high depending on which central defender has the ball.

• Central defenders (4 and 5) tilt (drop) when the other central defender has the ball. Switch play, break the vertical line (BVL) or find a midfielder.

Team Defending:

• Work together, work hard and put pressure on the ball at the right moment.

• Make a positive action after winning the ball and keep the ball.
