Organization:

Area: Half Field, less than full width.

The six attackers start with two wingers, a center forward and and three midfielders in a triangle. The five defenders play with three backs and two central midfielders. Regular soccer rules, but before being allowed to create a scoring chance, the attackers must get the ball to both wingers first. The turn is over when the ball goes over the endline or a goal is scored. After several minutes switch positions.

Game: Create two teams and keep track of the score.

Coaching Points:

Attackers:

• Keep the field wide, value the ball.

• Pass the ball with the correct speed to the correct foot.

• Winger must attack the endline and try to cross the ball from the endline.  Runs from forwards and midfielder in the box.

Defenders:

• Pressure, cover, balance.

• Shift with the ball. 

• After winning the ball try to score a small goal as quickly as possible.
