Set Up:

Ten players are set up in the attacking third, playing 5v3. The Feeder begins play with a free pass into the penalty area, and the attacker plays the ball back out to start each attack. The defenders can leave the penalty area as soon as the ball is played out, and the drill continues 5v3 from there. When the defenders win the ball, they can score on the small goals set up outside of the penalty area. Balls played out of bounds are restarted with throw-ins, and corner kicks are used.

Coaching Points:

1.  The midfielders must show early for the back pass and call for the ball.

2.  The 1st attacker checks away from the Feeder, and then comes back to the ball.

3.  After the back pass is made, look to play the next pass out wide to the flank.

Progressions:

1.  Add a fourth defender.
