Direct Counter (15 mins)

Blues (8 players) - Mimic 4 Defenders and 4 Midfielders

Blacks (6 players) - Mimic 3 Attackers and 3 Midfielders

Yellows (4 players) - Mimic Wide Players in the Neutral Zone


Aim


  • Blues are the team in possession, and have to retain the ball.  Make it realistic.
  • Yellows are on the blues side, and blacks cannot go into the neutral zone.
  • Blacks are aiming to press the blues to win the ball back, then break quickly to try and score. 
  • Blues then have to react and stop the break by affecting the ball and making tackles to stop them scoring.
  • Goalkeeper needs to be realistic, start edge of 18...make your decision to prevent the break or drop to the goal.

Ball is dead when cleared


Scoring 

Blues/yellow - 10 passes = 1 goal

Blacks - Break and score = 1 goal


Playing time = 15 mins / keep score


Losing team 25 sit ups / 25 press ups

Wide Counter / Defending Crosses (20 mins)

Same concept as previous.


Aim

This time though, once the blacks regain possession one yellow from each wing will become your outlet ball and will join the attack.  


  • Blues need to react quickly to losing the ball, defend the cross and prevent them scoring.
  • Blacks, we are looking for good quality balls wide, then attacking the box at pace and wide men get good crosses into the box - take your time don't just hit balls into an empty area.



Scoring

Blues - 10 passes = 1 goal, 15 passes = 2 goals, 20 passes = 3 goals

Blacks - Goal from a cross = 2 goals, a goal not as a direct result of the cross = 1 goal


Playing Time 20mins / keep score


Losing team 25 sit ups / 25 press ups
