Set Up:
There are 12 players set up in the defensive third, playing 6v4. To begin the drill, the Feeder passes the ball into the attacking team (in blue in the diagram). They work the ball out of the back third, looking to score in the three small goals set up in the midfield. If the defenders win the ball, they can go straight to goal. On goals or balls put out of play, the drill is re-started by the Feeder.
Coaching Points:
1. The goalkeeper is the boss. He needs to take charge and direct the defenders.
2. Use the entire space and switch fields. Get the outside backs free on the flanks.
3. Get the ball off of your foot. Do not take on defenders 1v1 in the defensive third.
Progressions:
1. Progress to 6v5, and then 7v5.
Players Required:
