6v6 game to goal zones. Goal zones marked as orange. Drive the ball through or pass to a teammate (offside rule) to score a goal. Mark the three lanes to field to help players to fill up the areas better.

Coaching points: Give continuos support to player in possession, do not force yourself forward, full backs should have support in behind (CB), on side (CM) and on forward (LM/RM). If player is struggling under heavy pressure move quickly closer to give support and play out (search next free player while receiving the ball). Player how gives emergency support should always have clear idea to who he will continue the game next and he should use minimum amount of touches. Important that only one player moves close to give support, other players should move away from the possessor to make more room.
