Practice Breakdown:
Number of Players: 10 | Pitch size: 40x30
In this drill, teams focus on quickly switching play across the grid to create scoring opportunities. The objective is to score by either finishing into one of the two mini goals or dribbling through one of the two gates on the opposite side of the grid.
One player from each team must always be positioned within each half of the grid, ensuring that at any given time, you have a maximum of 4v4 on one side and a 1v1 situation on the other side. This setup encourages both quick ball circulation and exploitation of space across the field.
• Quick Ball Movement: Encourage players to switch play rapidly and look for the best option to either score or progress the ball quickly to the opposite side. Fast transitions between zones are key.
• Maintain Positional Discipline: Ensure that players keep their positions, particularly in the 1v1 areas, to create a more dynamic and challenging attacking/defending environment.
• Use of Space: The team in possession must exploit the space created by the 1v1 situation, encouraging players to make runs that force defenders to react and commit.
• Immediate Decision-Making: Players should make quick decisions about whether to cross, dribble, or shoot, without overthinking the options.
Bonus Points for Crosses or Overlaps:
Award a bonus point for any successful cross or overlapping run that results in a goal. This encourages wide play and team coordination to create more goal-scoring chances.
Focus: Promotes teamwork, wing play, and the ability to deliver accurate crosses under pressure.
