Small sided game- 6v6/7v7 Game is played in one half at all times. If attacking team loses the ball then they all drop back into defending half as quickly as possible. Progress to leave one player high at all times to play as target Can also implement the "Barca rule" where the team who just lost possession in the attacking half have 5-6 seconds to win the ball back before dropping off.
Low pressure defending involves the team banking in behind the ball. Organize players after they drop off into 2 uniform lines (midfield & defence) Introduce the cues and triggers of pressure-no pressure. Pressure- bad touch, forward dribbling/movement. No Pressure- sideways/backwards movement, possession in opposite half.
