Set Up:

Ten players are set up on a split field, playing 3v2 in each half.  The three attackers play keep away in their half, and look to change the ball over to the other half of the field within five passes.  The attackers are allowed to follow their own pass across the midline and switch places with another attacker. If the defenders win the ball, all four defenders move into one half and play 4v3 until the attackers win it back. After ten minutes, four of the attackers switch to defending.

Coaching Points:

1.  Try to keep the ball off of the sidelines and out of the corners.

2.  Anticipate changes of possession and switch quickly from attack to defense.

3.  When receiving a long pass, look to one touch the ball away as the defender comes in. 

Progressions:

1.  Progress to 4v3 in both halves of the field.
