Set up
Two 35x25 fields as shown.
Organization
Play 5v3 (+3). White start with the ball against 3 defenders. White's aim is to break out of the square into the second field. Black's aim is to win the ball and counter to the two small goals. If black scores they get to switch out of defense (with the exception of one player). If white can get through both fields they stay as attackers. There is no pass restriction they just can not score for field one.
Coaching Points
Pressure, cover, balance - stay connected, angle of support, knowing when to delay to allow team mates to recover in transition,

Warm-up (10 mins)
Set up
5v3 (+4)
Organization
Coach picks 3 players to be defenders, 5 players to be attackers and 4 players to be corner players. Ball starts with white. Whites aim is to make 4 passes and then pass to the outside Yellow players to score a point (Players in corner should be the same color as team of 5 in the middle). If successful the four corner players switch with 4 in the middle (1 player will remain). Black teams aim is to win the ball and pass to a corner player. If successful then the 3 black team players can swap pinnies with anyone they choose.
Coaching Points
Encourage defending / pressing as a team. Encourage speed in tranisition especially if white loses possession. Can they win it back before the black can penetrate.
