5v5 Plus Two, #5
5v5 Plus Two, #5
Set Up:
14 players are set up on a split field, playing 5v5 plus two. During the game, each team plays 3v2 plus one in their defending half and 2v3 plus one in the attacking half. The attacking team must pass the ball into the attacking half before shooting, and the players may not cross over the midfield line during play. Balls played out of touch are re-started by the Feeder, and balls played over the end line are re-started by the goalkeeper.
Coaching Points:
1. Use the full width of the field in the defending half, and make the defenders chase.
2. In the back half, open up with the first touch and find the outside back running forward.
3. Isolate defenders and attack them 1v1.
Progressions:
1. Allow an attacker to cross over with the pass, creating a 3v3 plus one.
