EXPLANATION

Play starts 5v3 in central grid – 3 passes before playing out to one of 7/9/11, ball is played back into one of the mids (6/8/10) who immediately initiate an attack to goal – dashed line is offside line

Defenders score on mini goals

PROGRESSION

Add defenders 2/3 of 9/11 or 7/11 – or attempt to create width

Defensive mids – once attack starts, work hard to recover, attempt to pressure ball

Attacking mids – look to support balls into strikers and provide diagonal angles of support
