Organisation:

Area: 24 x 12 metres (2 - 12 x 12 metre areas)

Three Red Players v one Blue Player in first area + two Blue Players in second area.

Red Players start the practice with emphasis on retaining possession from the Blue Player in a 3v1 situation.

If the Blue Player wins the ball, he must quickly transition to attack and play to either of the two Blue Players in second area and go and join them. The Red Players upon losing possession must transition to defend and try to stop the Blue Player from playing the ball into the second area. If unsuccessful, one Red Player must transfer to the second area, creating another 3v1 situation with the same principles of the practice.

Coach has a supply of balls on the outside. If the players in possession let the ball go outside of their area, the Coach passes the ball into the other area to start a new game 

Football Actions:

Quality and selection of pass – weight and accuracy – 1st  and 2nd line passes  

Body shape/ Receive on the back foot/First touch

Transition to Defend – Can we win ball back as quickly as possible?
