Description:
Player organize as 2v1 (or 3v2) in a grid with supporting players on the outside. Teams try to move the ball from one side of the grid to the other.
Coaching Points:
-
Attackers - look to quickly make runs to create receiving opportunities, push ball into space, play as facing.
-
Defenders - try to take away options, win the ball, and quickly separate on transition.
Progression:
Use the outside players as neutrals for both teams. Change so that outside players are with the team that is numbers-down in the middle - the numbers-up team must possess inside the grid.
