Organisation

Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Set-Up

How to create space.(i.e. check away from where you want to receive, takes defenders eyes off you, push off the defender to get separation)

Instructions

The teams in the middle of the grid can combine with the feeder (side players). Essentially making this game 6vs2.
The wall passers have 2 touch and are asked to pass within 5 secs of receiving the ball.
Side players (feeders in yellow) cannot pass to each other.
The feeders can move up and down the lines they are assigned and cannot move into the grid.
A2 uses F3 to help keep possession and combine with A1.
F3 passes to A1 to maintain possession.
A1 passes into F4 to maintain possession.

Scoring

Identify a specific number of consecutive passes the attacking team needs to complete before a point is scored (for example; 6. 6 passes would equal a point.
Play for 5 minutes and then rotate the players.

Coaching Points

Keep the football speed high (pass the ball quickly with limited touches).
Players without the football must move within the grid to create good passing angles.
Move to good angles as the ball is in motion, not after the the passer has received the football.
Players who pass the football should move immediately afterwards to take up good positions to support.
Ensure passes to fellow attackers are such that they can be controlled to their advantage (in front, good weight of pass, on ground, receiving open to the field).
The football shouldn't have to be passed diagonally across the grid if the supporting angles are good and runs are made early.
