Set Up:

There are 12-15 players set up in the attacking third. The attackers start at the cones and the defenders start on the end line. To begin the drill, two defenders leave the end line and set up on the penalty spot and inside of the ‘D’. The Feeder then starts play with a pass to either one of the attackers. The defenders release with the first touch, and play continues 2v2 from there. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the two small goals set up outside of the penalty area. Upon completion, the Feeder re-starts play with the next set of attackers and defenders.

Coaching Points:

1.  Make a positive first touch and attack the first defender aggressively with the dribble.  

2.  The second attacker should look to initiate takeovers and overlaps with horizontal runs.

3.  If both of the defenders back up towards the goal, look to shoot from the outside.

Progressions:

1.  Add a neutral player.

2 Progress to 3v3.
