Effectively 5 vs 5 with goalkeepers. Attacking team goalkeeper roles ball out to attacker on edge of box/penalty spot who hits a first time shot at goal. 1 of the 2 defending team players behind the sides of the goal hit an arial ball to one of the 4 attacking players, this attacking player must then bring the ball under control, setting up a 4 vs 4 (outfield players). Repeat after drill breaks down. If defending team win the ball cleanly they counter-attack at pace. 2 defending player behind goal switch with 2 defending outfield players each time.
