3 attackers v 2 defenders in each half (20x30) with attackers attempting to combine, finish and score at goal. If defenders win possession they can dribble into the central zone for 2 points. Rotate roles of players so all players defend and attack.
progression - Play 4 attackers v 1 defender
progression - 2 attackers v 3 defenders to underload attacking team
Combinations with team mates to create goalscoring opportunities. Players should look to work together in attack and make decisions around when to pass, when to dribble and when to finish at goal
Movements to create and exploit space to receive and finish. Team mates supporting the player in possession can perform movements to create space for the player on the
ball to finish, or for themselves to receive near goal. Movements include overlaps, underlaps, runs across the defensive line and using width.
Be clinical. In and around the penalty area it is vital that players take chances at goal and focus on their technique selection, accuracy and power to finish.
