High Press with 6 vs 6

Setup

Pitch: Two tall cones form a passing gate in the centre of the pitch; plus three mini goals and one full-size goal.

Equipment: 3 mini goals, 1 goal, 2 tall cones and several balls.

Players: Two teams of six — Yellow and Blue — plus one goalkeeper.

The game is played freely as 6 vs 6.
Team Yellow attacks the three mini goals; Team Blue is to win the ball through pressing and finish on the goal with the goalkeeper.
There is an additional point if Yellow plays through the passing gate and then converts the ball safely.
The additional goal in the middle means that Blue has to defend high and deliberately steer the opponents out wide in order to create a numerical advantage there.

Variations: Instead of the passing gate in the middle, a dribbling gate is set up.

The striker closest to the ball approaches in a curved run.
The striker furthest from the ball anticipates the back pass to the goalkeeper.
As the pass is played, the right-sided wide player closes down a yellow full-back.
The remaining players shift across towards the ball and orientate themselves on the opponents.
Press at high speed.
