attack vs defence (30 mins)

Set up

Play from penalty area to penalty area on a normal size pitch (relevant to age group).

Rules

Two teams of seven players.

The game is played from penalty box to penalty box.

However, the game is locked into one half of the pitch, with the attacking team beginning the game.

To start, the red team attack and try to dribble or pass to a player breaking into the scoring zones. The team score 1 point for breaking into the wide zones and 2 points for scoring in the central zone.

The blue team must try to defend the three zones and also try to regain possession of the ball.

If the blue team regain possession, they must make 4 passes or pass to a player breaking over the half way line in order to stop the game. If this happens, both teams walk into the opposite half and the blue team now re-start the game as the attacking team.

Therefore, the red team must quickly apply counter pressing tactics to stop the blue team making four passes or from advancing forward and over the half way line. The aim is to lock the blue team into their own half.
