Creativity on transition (20 mins)

Set up the area as seen above with a field cornered off creating a diamond shape and a halfway line.

In each half of the field, there is a 5v2. To begin the practice, players are locked in their halves with the Goalkeeper starting with the ball. The 5 players look to build into the attacking half into their Strikers. Once this has happened, 2 players from the defensive half can join in and create a 4v4 situation. However, players can also shoot from their defensive half creating a normal game.

If possession of the ball is turned over, the players must take their starting position from the start of the game, 5v2 in each half. Keep score of the game to maintain competition.

Coaching Points:

Awareness and decision making

Body shape

First touch 

shooting
