Coaching Points:

• In ball possession make the field as long and wide as possible.

• Correct movement of the players when their team is in ball possession: attacker starts high and moves left/right to create a passing lane, the midfielders stay wide and move up or down the sideline to get open, defender starts back and moves left/rigth to receive the ball back and to keep the build up going. 

• When the opponent has the ball, make the field small. Defenders come together towards the ball. 

• Pressure the ball. 

Game:

Keep track of the score.
