Organization:
Set up a grid of 24 yards long and 12 yards wide, two teams of six players with three players in each lane. When a team is defending, one player needs to step out to make 3+3v2. This player steps back in as soon as his team wins the ball. The two defenders try to stop the pass to the other side by shifting and pressuring the ball. The two teams of three attacking players try to pass the ball past the defenders to each other.
Progression: Make the field three yards wider and always keep three defenders on the field.
Coaching Points:
Defenders
-
Stay together and quickly shift with the ball to avoid and intercept the pass from the attackers.
-
Work hard.
Attackers
-
Pass the ball quickly to each other to create space between the defenders and the option to split the defenders with a pass.
-
Pass the ball with the correct speed to the correct foot,
-
Receive the ball with the furthest foot.
-
Drop off a little bit when the player next to you has the ball. This will make it easier to receive and pass the ball.
