Screen 1

Organization:

12 players

2 same size boxes 15 by 10 yards(Depends on skill level)

2 teams of 4 players combine as a 4 and play against a team of 2 (4v2) per box

Instructions:

2 minute rotations of who defenders and who attacks, all teams must defend at some point

Attackers score by playing 6 consecutive passes without the ball being interecpted by the defenders or leaving the box.

Attackers can score additional points every time they play a successful 'split/penetrating' pass through the 2 defenders.

If the ball leaves the box then the attackers restart with any ball that has been placed around the area with a 'free' pass (the defenders cant steal the ball on the first pass).

The defenders can score a point by stealing the ball then playing a successful pass to their partner who stops the ball under their foot. If this happens, the ball is then given back to the attacking team.

Score is kept and coach relays how much time is left as it runs down from 2 mins

Coaching Points:

How do we keep possession - angles/distances/timing of support

Weight and accuracy of passes

Play to and expect to receive on back foot

Communication

Creativity / disguising of passes/intentions

When do I penetrate? Do I need to? Risk vs Reward

Progressions:

If defender wins the ball they try to score in pug goal for 2 points

If attacking team can connect 6 passes they can now penetrate into the empty box and look to score iin pugg goal ( Defender can go in empty box to stop the goal)

If defender wins the ball start from first box again

Rotate defenfers- Make competition betwee defenders and attackers from different box
