Setup

This is a tight 10 x 20m field with small goals, where your players cash in on a numbers advantage to score fast. They start in a 2v1 and go straight at goal.

1) Field setup: Set a small goal (about 3m wide) inside a 10 x 20m area. Attackers start with 2 players, the defense with 1.

2) Kicking off: The coach plays a ball in to the attacking side. The attackers read it fast, beat the defender two-on-one, and finish into the small goal.

3) After the goal: Once the shot goes in, move straight to the next rep. If the defense wins it, reset the same way.

4) Reps: Run each rep 5 to 10 times.
