Organisation:
Area: 2 x 15 x 15 metres areas with a 5-metre middle area.
The teams start 4v0 in the two end areas with four Blue players positioned on the corners of the middle area.
Blue player passes the ball into Red team and then follows the pass with one more Blue Player to create a 4v2 situation.
Red team must establish possession before transferring the ball (3-5 passes depending on ability).
When the ball is transferred, the defenders leave the area while the other two Blue Players follow the ball into the Black team to create another 4v2 situation.
This process continues until possession is lost in the area or in the transfer.
If a defender wins the ball, they must transfer to the other area while the four players that were in possession must now quickly transition to defend.
Football Actions:
Create space (by individual & team mobility)
Weight, accuracy and height of pass
Body shape/receive on back foot /first touch
Angles and distance of support
Width and Depth – Penetrating pass
Communication between Players
Awareness of space – Defenders in 4v2 and in transfer of possession
Transition to Defend – Can we win ball back as quickly as possible?
Notes:
Have supply of footballs outside the area.
Progression: Have two defenders in the middle area to attempt to screen/cut out the transfer of possession.
