Diagram 1. Set-Up Arrangement

Diagram 2. Progression - Requirement of midfield rotation prior to switch.

Set Up

1. 6vs3. The two end groups of 3 Players combine to maintain possession from the 2 Grey defenders. All players to start are restricted to their zones. The two end groups attempt to maintain possession and switch play when possible. When the defending team has won the possession back 3 times they rotate.
2. The 3 attacking players at each end should ideally be central midfielders (2xACMs, 1 DCM) or an alternative configuration to suit your team shape. You could select positions for the exercise based on your teams positions.
3. As an alternative use units of the team to develop understand between players who play alongside each other (i.e. defenders, midfielders, forwards).
4. Must perform at least one rotation between the two end line attacking teams before a switch of play.
5. All passes must be below shoulder height.
6. Play for 3-4 mins and then break for either a 30 sec or 1 minutes rest period.
7. Must perform at least one rotation between the two end line attacking teams before a switch of play.

Scoring

1. Possession passing targets can be set (i.e. 10 consecutive passes).
