Organization:
Field of 30 x 20. Six attackers against two defenders. The six attackers play on ball possession. The two defenders try to win the ball and must either dribble the ball out of the grid or connect a pass with each other. This is a BLITZ moment for the 6 attackers. Switch defenders every 90 seconds or two minutes. Or switch after a turn over.
Game: 10 consecutive passes = one point, every completed interception = one point.
Coaching Points:
Attacking:
-
Movement as in W-passing.
-
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.
-
Midfielders (6 and 8) go high or low depending on which central defender has the ball.
Technique:
-
Pass with the correct speed to the correct foot.
-
Receive with the furthest foot to open up.
Team Defending:
-
Work together, work hard and put pressure on the ball at the right moment.
-
Make a positive action after winning the ball; keep the ball.
