Set Up:

14 players are set up in the attacking third, playing 4v2 in the central grid and 2v2 inside of the penalty area. The four attackers play keep away inside the grid and look to pass the ball into the penalty area. From there, the attackers finish 2v2. If the defenders in the grid win the ball, they get a free pass out to an overlapping player (Player 1 or 2), to create a 3v2. On goals or balls put out of play, the Feeder re-starts play inside of the grid.

Coaching Points:

1.  Hold the run and/or check away until the attackers are prepared to pass.

2.  Take the first touch away from the defender and shield the ball.

3.  After the free pass out, hold the run until you’re sure that it’s a cross or a setback.   

Progressions:

1.  All players are active after the pass in, creating a 6v4 or a 6v6.
