Set Up:
The attacking teams play 5v2 in the central zones. After making five passes, they can play the ball into the 2v1 in the attacking zone. From there, the two attackers finish on goal. When a defender wins the ball, they are allowed a free pass into the central zone where they have the 5v2 advantage. The GK gets the same free pass when he has possession.
Coaching Points:
1. Expanding the space – Attackers should use the entire width and depth of their zone.
2. Speed of play – Play in a one and two touch rhythm and force the defenders to chase the ball.
3. Decision making - Look for passing options BEFORE you receive. Open your stance so that you can see the entire space.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – The attackers must make 10 passes before playing the ball into the 2v1.
Regression 1 – Play 4v1 in the two central zones.
