We do this in two groups. 4v4 or 5v5 depending how many players we have.
We start from gk where we have 3v2 (or 4v3 if we play 5v5). Other zone we have 1v1. White team tries to break from under pressure. One(or two) white can join attack, also one (or two) yellow must follow his own player. White player can break to next zone by driving the ball or by passing it to attacker.
Coaching points(individual): Protecting the ball while driving (use the leg further away from opponent), protect the ball when receiving it (know your surroundings, use correct foot, orientate the ball to favorable direction), do not force play forward (who has best chance to adcance, drive or pass?), change your intentions with ball (if driving is not option anymore, turn and pass. Do not get locked to one solution)
Coaching points (collective): When attacking, use whole width of the field, Keep the ball moving to open up more spaces and get defending team unbalanced (use numerical superioirity)
When defending close the center (prevent through passes), know your own player (move to press when ball moves),
