The play starts off on a small sided game size pitch. Ball is played into the 2 player attacking and they look to attack at pace quickly against one defender. Decide whether to go alone or play team mate in to score. Don't be offside. As soon as this play breaks down or goal is scored, 2 players join the defending player to make a 3v2 attacking the other way. Same again, into a 4v3 before play is reset with the other team this time attacking with a 2v1 advantage first.
