Description:

A team of three (in black) with four supporting players is trying to possess against a team of five (in red). The black team is required to stay inside the grid, and they can use their outside supporting teammates as receivers and distributors.

Coaching Points:

• The black team is looking for quick combinations of play, 3rd man runs, limited touches, and quick movement of the ball to keep away from the red team.

• The red team, on possession, is looking to enlarge the space and force the black team to create gaps for splits.

• Out of possession, the red team is trying to take away options from black, double team, and try to win the ball quickly.

Progression:

• Adjust touch count limits for inside and outside.

• When ball is played outside, passer and receiver switch (receiver into the grid, passer to the outside).

• Add GK, the black team can attack the goal after making five consecutive passes, the red team can attack the goal whenever they win the ball.
