Organization:

Area: 40y x 25y

The seven players try to keep ball possession, while the four try to win the ball back. The attacking team scores a point when they connect a certain number of passes. The defenders get a point when they connect 3 passes after winning the ball. 

Coaching Points:

Defenders:

• Always try to form a diamond with one defender pressuring the ball two defenders taking away the split pass and one defender covering the space.

• Constantly Create a PRESSURE TRIANGLE.

• Cues to pressure and win the ball: Ball through the air, attacker receives the ball in the corner, player receives a slow pass or a hard pass, poor first touch.

• Defenders need to COMMUNICATE!

• Transition DEF to ATT: Try to find an open player as quickly as possible. 

Attackers:

• Make the space as large as possible when in ball possession and move into open spaces. 

• Value the ball.

• Transition ATT to DEF: Win the ball back as quickly as possible. Quick reaction and pressure.
