-Eliminate or reduce long 50/50 balls with the aim to retain possession and play out from the back.

-Ensure players are receiving the ball in forward facing positions

-Maintain balance of shape on the pitch, if the right side receives the ball wide, then the left side should tuck in and vice versa.

-RED players look to create 2v1 inside the grid where possible.

TG (30 mins)Organisation | 9v7

16 players total; BP#1,3,4,2,5,6,8,10 vs BPO#9,7,11. A supply of footballs is placed in one large goal so that play may be restarted quickly. Play throw-ins, but, all other 'out of bounds' must restart with BP#1 playing out.

2. Is there observable improvement in performance of the team task?

3. Are players executing player tasks independently?
