Progression:
• Add two defending strikers who attempt to win the ball and play to goal. Additionally, add two small counter goals on the flanks for the backs and goalkeeper to play to. This practice allows the goalkeeper and back line to learn to break the pressure of the two strikers. Emphasize the importance of trying to release one of the two outside backs up the flank to score. Restarts in this practice should come from a server near mid field (as shown) and should be a ball served to one of the backs or the goalkeeper.
