5v3 + 2 (20 mins)

5v3 + 2 Supports

The objective of the Drill:

To move the ball quickly from one end to the other using the supports at each end
Once you have made 3 passes on one side, you can play the ball forward to the other zone
Once the pass has gone through, the purple team must have two supports follow the play and 1 blue defender can enter the zone to create a 3v2 +1

Coaching points:
Scanning the field off of the ball
Movement off the ball as a support option to the ball carrier
Make sure that your supporting angles are different from that of the ball carrier

Progressions:

5 full passes before you can progress into the opposite zone
Must use the Yellow supporting player before you can progress the ball into the other zone
Have the Yellow supporting player make an overlapping run to receive the ball on the wing and 1 or 2 touches it into the other zone (Once he has made his run, he joins in with the team who has possession of the ball until he can get replaced by a trailing player and get back to his side)
If the overlapping player can 1 touch it to the other Yellow support player behind the red line (1pt)
