IDP's in this session are: CB's need to be better at heading the ball so the football tennis is long and narrow encouraging them to open their hips out and win more headers CM's need to shuffle and screen better to cut out passing lanes so their football tennis boundaries are wider but shorter encouraging them to shuffle much more often The game is tailored to the midfield IDP's again as the pitch is wide with only two central midfielders so they will have to shuffle frequently. But also the box is bigger than usual to hit the Strikers IDP's of scoring more goals outside the box. Any goal scored outside the box is worth 3 points. Anything scored inside the box is worth one.
