Set Up:
There are nine players set up in the defending third, playing 4v3. The Feeder begins play with a long pass towards the corner. The attackers control the ball and look to work it back up the field, dribbling thru one of the two small goals set up on the flanks. If the defenders win the ball, they attack the goal 3v4. Upon completion, the Feeder re-starts play with the same set of attackers and defenders. After ten minutes, the players switch teams.
Coaching Points:
1. The outside back should get wide and deep in order to take his first touch up the field.
2. The two center backs should not be square to one another. One should get forward.
3. Play the ball back to the goalkeeper as early as possible to give him more time.
Progressions:
1. Progress to 6v4, and then 7v5.
