EXPLANATION

Field as shown – activity starts 4v2 in middle grid, 3 passes before ball can be played into final grid (pass to GK allowed) – once ball is forward, team tries to score on mini goals
Defenders can score on large goal
When attackers recover ball, game restarts in middle grid

PROGRESSION

Start with GK distribution
Add additional players, expand grids

COACHING POINTS

Avoid playing ball into pressure, use GK to switch point of attack – use entire width of space
Play the way you face – look for 2/3 touch max play
Attacking mid – look to time runs, check shoulder, keep play simple, focus on first touch
From backs – look for 3rd player run forward
