DESCRIPTION

Two teams of 6 players each. Create 4 squares 4x10meters. Split your players 3 in every square as shown in the image. 

PROGRESSION

Red players exchange passes aiming to find the perfect time to provide a penetrating pass to one of their teammates on the next square. Reds aim is to prevent the blue from completing the penetrating pass by closing down the gaps. If the red team wins possesion they become the attackers and follow the same sequence. If a team manages to succesully exchange two penetrating passes then the attacker that receives the ball can turn and go 1v1 with the goalkeeper and score.
