Set Up:

Players are organized into three teams of four players in a 25 x 25 yards playing area which has a one-yard zone in each corner. Two teams play 4v4 in the middle while the third team occupies the corners of the pitch. The team in possession will have a 8v4 advantage, and they can score one point for every six consecutive passes. If the defensive team wins possession, the roles change immediately and the corner players play now act as teammates for a new overload. Play for two minutes, take a one-minute break, and then switch roles.

Coaching Points:

1.   When a defender chases the ball, look for thru passes that will split the defenders.

2.   Pass backwards to a neutral as opposed to turning into the defender.

3.   Anticpate turnovers and make a fast transition to attacking or defending.
