Once this happens the team who receives the ball then attack the other team and the defending team drop into the box. Play until a team scores 5 goals or for 2/3 minutes dependent on the success of the drill.

Progressions for the game:

• Once a team scores the whole team must drop back into their half before they can apply pressure again.
• Players can only score on a first time pass.
• Add a pass amount in before they can score, in one specific half or both.
• Players must play a long pass from there own half in the air getting into the box with no more than 1 bounce.
• Players can use the team in their half as bounce players.

COACHING POINTS

Players should look for a fast transition in both attack and defense. Attackers upon receiving the ball should look to break through the defense as they are dropping back in to their own half and use the width of the field. If the counter does not break through the team should look to use the whole of the field to create another break by stretching the defense. 

Defense should look to organize and cover the space to break down a quick counter attack. Players look to press the ball and force them to make passes back or sideways and cut out any through balls to goal.
