Setup
Pitch: Cones mark out the playing area, which is divided lengthways into two halves; there is a goal at each end.
Equipment: 2 goals, cones and several balls.
Players: Two teams of seven and goalkeepers. Team Red plays with a back four, two holding midfielders and one counter-attacking striker, Team Green in a free formation.
Procedure
- The game is 7 vs 7 with a maximum of three touches.
- Team Red has to prevent Team Green from scoring a goal.
- After a finish, the build-up always starts from Team Green's goal.
Tip
- The player nearest the ball pushes out, the player furthest from the ball provides cover.
- If the ball is in the centre, a defensive triangle is formed.
- If the ball is on the wing, the player nearest the ball pushes out; the other players shift across and provide cover behind.
- If a pass out to the wing is possible, only push out just before the pass, or as the pass is played, otherwise the space in between can be played into.
- Keep slotting back into the line quickly.
