8v8 passing lane

48x20 4 lots of 20x12 grids

8 blues, 8 reds

Rules: Red try to play red and blue play blue. 1pt scored for each successful through ball. Ball must stay below waist height. If the ball goes out off the defending team they get the ball back.

Objective: For the team defending to not allow the opposition to play through their defensive line. If they win the ball back then they try to break their opponents defensive line.

Each team 2mins in the middle then switch.

Coaching points: Pressure cover and compactness. Move as the ball moves. Work on angles of movement to take away passing lanes.

Progression: 1 player from the defending team can step into the opponents square to press.

Progression 2: 2 players can step in and press.

Defending compactness in zone 1

Compactness in zone 1 with 3 at the back vs 2-3-1 (replicating 4-2-3-1)

Red going to goal. If blue win it back they have 3 passes to try and hit one of the mini goals in transition. Restarts with red at half every time. Offsides in play.

Coaching points: Coaching blue to defend deep and compact the central areas. Show the opposition wide and defend balls into the box. Be very selective in when to step and put pressure on the ball. In transition move the ball quickly and hit a target within 3 passes.
