DESCRIPTION

6 attackers in static locations.

5 defenders / 3 mid.

First, walk through how the shape should look when ball is at each attacker.

As the ball cycles around the attackers, adjust shape.

Progression - Adjust attacking shape to 2 forwards/2 wide/1 mid.

Progression - Play game. Put 2 players at half way line for defence to play ball to when won.

Progression - Play 11 attackers v 8 defenders. Defense will need to keep shape and adjust quickly
