8 vs. 6

• 1 goal (with a goalkeeper)

• 4 mini-goals on the halfway line

• Divide the players into two teams (Team 1: 8 players; Team 2: 6 players)

• The coach starts the drill by playing the ball in on the right wing (graphic)
• Team Blue has 30 seconds to finish/ score
• If the Blue team scores, the ball goes out of bounds, or the time is up, the coach plays in another ball and the next attack starts
• If team Red wins the ball and scores on one of the four mini-goals, the Blue team is punished with push-ups, squats, or other strengthening exercises

Team Blue:

• Precise and powerful passes
• Use the full width of the field
• Search for runs (and balls) in behind
• After losing the ball: Counterpress!

Team Red:

• Quick shifting towards ballside
• Communication and coaching
• Move up, active defending
• Run fast counter attacks after having won the ball

Variation:
