Objective: Yellows have to try and win the ball off of the blues. If yellows win the ball can they look to score past the blue goalkeeper. Can blues find the coach in red, or work the ball into one of the two goals on the half way line.
Can we:
- Focus on pressing as a team, not allowing blues enough space or time on the ball to be direct into the coach.
- Recognise our shape as a team when pressing. Do I need to cover?
- Make play predictable.
Progressions: Open up the practice into a full pitch.
