Set Up:

There are 12-16 players set up in the attacking third, playing 4v3. The attackers start at the cones, and the defenders start in the penalty area. To begin play, a central attacker makes a run to the ‘D’, and the Feeder passes the ball in to him. The players can move with the Feeder’s first touch, and the drill continues from there to completion. If the defenders win the ball, they can score in the two small goals set up outside of the penalty area. On goals or balls put out of touch, the Feeder re-starts play with the next set of players.

Coaching Points:

1.  The 1st defender cannot afford to get beat 1v1. He has to make good decisions.   

2.  The goalkeeper must send defenders to the ball quickly and aggressively.

3.  Deny shots and crosses, and force the attackers to pass the ball around the outside.

Progressions:

1.  Limit the number of passes made before shooting.
