Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

• 40x30 yrd OR 30x20 yrds for younger players.
• Red & White vs. Yellow team in the diagram above.
• 3 red midfielders are defending above against the two other teams which play together acting as targets at each end.
• Coach or assistant coach positioned on the sideline.
• In the diagram above the midfield plays with two DMF's and an AMF to simulate a 4-3-3 midfield.
• 5 min games then switch the roles.

Instructions

• The yellow and white team attempt to play penetrating passes through to each other through the grid where the red team is defending.
• All passes must be on the ground.
• Targets can play sideways to each other and cannot be tackled by the defending team.
• The defending team is free to press the yellow and white team members as close as they need (but cannot tackle).
• If a penetrating pass is made through successfully the defending team (i.e. Midfield) turns and defends against the opposite target team.
• If the defending team (Midfield) intercept a pass or win the ball they pass the ball into the coach for a point.

Scoring

• The target teams play a successful pass through the red defending team to the other target team.
• If the defending team (Midfield) intercept a pass or win the ball they pass the ball into the coach for a point.
