Pass to Penetrate (20 mins)

Set up: 

-  25x35 yards field set-up (Split grid into 2 halves)

**Might need to make the grid longer to allow proper passing space

- 2 pug goals at end of field
- 2v2 plus neutral (yellow) and one target player (yellow) with the balls. Can play 3v3 + Neutral and Target. Adjust to your numbers but will likely need 2 grids.

Instructions
- Game starts with a pass from target player into the red team. Red team are looking to penetrate the offside line with a pass to teammate to score on the pug goal
- Blue team are looking to win the ball back and secure possession with pass to target player. If Blue team wins the ball and secures a pass with the target player, Blue becomes the attacking team. 
- Neutral player is on 1 or 2 touches. Target player can also be used and is on 1 or 2 touch.
- Switch neutral and target player every 3 minute intervals.


Coaching points
- Movement and angles of support from 2nd attacker.
- Anticipation to defend.

-When to make run in behind to receive a pass to score


Progression

- Allow 1 defender to follow attacker into grid with mini-goal to create a 1v1 

-Allow 1 additional attacker and 1 defender to join into grid with mini-goal to create 2v1 ... "     " 2v2
- Turn both grids into a tournament

-Call offsides

3 Zone Passing Game (20 mins)

Set up 

-2 mini pug goals or 2 large goals if you have goalkeepers 

-45x20 yard field with 3 sections... Extend each end zone by 15 yards for free area before shooting

-Divide group into two teams

-TO START set up in each zone: 

defensive third (4v3), middle third (3v3), attacking third (3v4) = 20 players *Would have to adjust grid size for more players*

defensive third (3v2), middle third (2v2), attacking third (2v3) = 14 players + 2 servers or goal keepers

defensive third (2v1), middle third (1v1), attacking third (1v2) = 8 players + 2 servers or goal keepers

The pitch is split into 3 zones (defensive, middle, and attacking zones)

Teams are overloaded in the defensive/attacking zone (2 defenders vs. 1 attacker) but equal in the middle zone with a server/goalkeeper each end. Players can only get from 1 zone to the next by passing the ball across zones.

Normal game, but must pass into the zones. 

Options 

-Use the big goals and put goal keepers in the net if you have them

-Player who passes the ball into the forward grid can join
