Duration

4 Minutes work/ 2 minutes rest

Total of 16 minutes

Progressions

1 Blue strikers movement is just switching with each other playing along 18 yard line.

2 Blue strikers can now come short but staying within the zoned area. Also advanced midfielder can go into zoned area.

3 Blue wide midfield player can also advance and run into and beyond strikers

Blues aim is to score goal

Coaching Points.

Red midfield players will be working as a pair not stop passes into strikers. Will also have to think about runs from advanced blue midfield player.

Red centre backs will have to communicate, being aware of possibly swapping who they are defending.

Distances they will come with striker when he goes short.

Highest red player will try and drop into a postion where the ball cant be switched in one easy pass.
