now we move onto using half a pitch with the use of goals. seperate the width of the pitch into 5 sections twice once on the edge of the box and again towards the half way line (see diagram). split the group into one team of 8 and one team of 7. with just 1 goalkeeper.
defending team are onyl allowed to have one player per box at a time. this forces them to shuffle and pass the payer on rather than just following them across the pitch. attackers can go in any box they feel like. and can have as many olayers as they want in any box any time.
after the ball has got past the defenders and into the box or out wide ina crossing position defenders can drop and move in the box freely.
defenders much shuffle across the pitch following the ball however they must not have more than one player in a box at a time. the winger on the defneding team can drop down into defence if a box is free however a defender may not move into a box in the midfield as it would leave a hole in the defence.
