Set Up:

• The teams play 5 v 5 on a field split into two 18 yard boxes.

• Each team has three players in the defending half, and two in the attacking half.

• Players must stay in their own half, but they can score from either half.

Coaching Points:

• Encourage players to look to shoot first. If they can’t, can they play a ball to someone who can?

• Speed of play must be high.

• Movement off the ball is important. Find space with your movements, and unbalance the defenders.

• Placement vs power when shooting.

Progressions:

• Players are allowed to dribble or pass into attacking half. If the ball is passed into attacking half, they can follow the pass, creating a 3 v 3 in attacking half.

• When a player passes the ball in, his two teammates can move into the attacking half, creating a 4 v 3.
