At the start of the technical warmup, the players are divided into two groups, the players are then placed on the cones as shown within their group. The exercise starts with player A playing into player B who receives on half turn, player B immediately plays a pass to player C. Upon receiving the pass from player B, player C quickly plays a double pass with player A and drives in and look to finish on goal from distance i.e. before the white line. Players rotate A-B-C-A and upon coach's call, both groups repeat the triangle passing in the opposite direction to finish on goal.

- Speed of play.

- Improvisation i.e. can you look to beat defender with a move and finish on goal.

Progressions:

- Player C must finish first time upon receiving the set pass.

- One defender (Player D) is introduced to stop player A from shooting on goal, defender has 5 seconds to score upon breaking the white line. If defender wins possession, the defender should look to dribble over the white line or pass the ball into one of the counter goals on the sides to score a point.

Organization:

Set up the playing area as shown.

Instructions:

Players are divided into three teams i.e. blues, reds and whites. Blues and reds play 2v2 in each half of the pitch with the whites playing as neutrals in the central zone. Whites are semi-restricted to play in the central zone, however one white player is allowed to join in an attack to create a 3v2 attacking overload, they will always look to play with the team in possession.

When the goalkeepers are in possession, they can look to distribute into both halves of the pitch or they can also play into the whites in the central zone.

Coaching Points:

- Quick combination play to finish on goal.

- Quick improvisation to get past defender(s).

- Quick transitions (attacking & defending transitions).
