4 teams of 3 or 4 on a 40x25 field. 1 goal box at either side of the pitch. The team attacks the other teams side and trys to score by passing into the team awaiting the ball inside the box. 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:
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.

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.

The next frontier in football coaching is not physical, it is mental. Cognitive load training - the deliberate use of perception, decision-making and dual-task demands inside football drills - is reshaping how the best academies develop players. Here is what it means and how to use it.
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.
