In an exercise designed to achieve prolonged possession and the ability to play between the defensive lines.
On half field set up 5 maniquin (red) in 3-2 formation. 7(blue) players will play unopposed in a 3-4 formation.
There is no pre-determined passing rotation and players should be mobile and spatially aware on receiving and passing the ball. The ball can be played in any direction and the players in possession in contineous supporting areas.
Progress the exercise by inserting 2-3 live players to give realism and to encourage good first touch and decision making by the team in possession. The excercise can develop to a full field with uneven numbers....ie 11v 6.
