Set Up:

Fifteen players are set up in the attacking third, playing 7v5 with one extra defender stationed at the cone. During the drill, the attackers play towards the large goal, and the defending team plays towards the three small goals. After the attackers make five passes, the sixth defender comes onto the field. Balls played out of bounds are re-started with a throw in, and after goals, the Feeder re-starts play with a pass to the attacking team.

Coaching Points:

1.  The goalkeeper must send a defender to the ball every time it is passed.

2.  The defender pressuring the ball must contain the play. He cannot get beat 1v1.

3.  As the ball moves from sideline to sideline, the entire defense must slide left or right.

Progressions:

1.  Progress to 8v6.
