Setup
Set up a 30m × 30m area with all 11 players. The team in possession (7 players) strings together a set number of passes while the defending group (4 players) works to win the ball. The moment the defenders win it, they break straight into a counter. If the attack gets stopped, attackers and defenders swap.
１）Possession team (7 players) — their job
Use the whole area, keep the ball moving through the set number of passes, and push the attack forward. Stay calm under pressure, read the picture, and attack the space to get up the field.
２）Defending team (4 players) — their job
Press quickly out of the central area and go win the ball. The second they get it, spring the counter without hesitation.
３）Rotation rule
After the defenders win the ball and counter, the attacking team drops in to defend. Keep cycling so everyone gets reps in both roles.
