Set Up:

In four separate grids, the players start 2v2 inside of each grid. Five neutral players circulate between the grids and can join in with any of the attacking pairs, creating a 3v2 or a 4v2 inside of that grid. With a change of possession, the neutral player can remain at that grid or switch to a different one.  One point is scored by the attacking team by putting together ten consecutive passes, and the winner is determined by totaling up the scores from all four grids.

Coaching Points:

1.  Speed of play – Attackers must play in a one and two touch rhythm to relieve pressure.

2.  Movement off the ball – Read the defender’s run and show early. Don’t hide in dead space.

3.  Anticipation -  Pick your head up and look for your passing options BEFORE you receive.

Progressions/Regressions:

Progression 1 – The neutral players are limited to one touch.
