Two teams of four with a four vs two in one side and the other two in the other.

The four have to get ten passes to score a goal and can continue to score more with twenty passes etc. The two have to try and win the ball and play it into their own side. Once they do this they quickly support the player they just passed to. Two defenders can then go to try and win the ball back.

Progressions:

– Add another defender in (three defenders and one player as outlet).

– Add goals so once they get the ball they aim to score.

Key Points:

– Different ways of counter attacking (running with the ball, long pass to feet, long pass over the top and short passes). Prioritise.

– Quick attack/passes/movement.

– Create depth and width quickly.

– Angles of support (wide, behind, in front).

– Drawing players out of position via runs.
