30 x 15 Yard Field, 2 teams of at least 4 players.
1 team starts as attackers, the others defenders.
One defender passes the ball into two attackers, the attackers work together and score a point by dribbling the ball under control over the endline.
If the defender wins the ball they can look to counter attack and dribble it over the opposite endline. If they do so they get a point.
After 10 attacks have the teams switch roles, make it a competition and count the # of goals scored by each team.
1. Take the space the defender gives you, when they commit pass the ball to the other attacker.
2. Be aggressive when you have a chance to score a goal, accellerate towards the goal. Bigger touches in space, if the defender closes you down control the ball.

Roughly a fifth of Premier League goals come from set pieces, and the gap between teams who plan their routines and teams who do not has never been wider.

If the last decade taught us about pressing, this one is teaching us about what stands behind it. Rest defence is the shape your team holds while attacking, and it is the difference between dominating a game and getting picked off on the counter.
