Organization:

Area: Half field, full width.

Split the field in two. Use one large goal and three small goals. The attacking team plays with a goalkeeper, 4 defenders and 3 midfielders. The defending team plays with 3 midfielders and 3 forwards.  The attackers score on the three small goals. 

The buildup starts with the goalkeeper of the attacking team (blue). In the first box it is a 4+GK versus 3 situation.  With a pass, combination play or dribble, the attackers try to create a 4v3 situation in the midfield in the second box. Only an attacking player can move into the next box. 

Game: Keep track of the score. 

Goal: Improve the ability to build up from the back and to create an extra player situation in the midfield. 

Variations: 

• Start with 3v2 in buildup.
• Remove the lines and play regular 8v5 game.
