Set-up
6v6 with 2 permanent neutrals always playing with the team in possession. Target is 8 consecutive passes for a point. When possession turns over, the new team must complete 3 passes before they can score.
Coaching points
- Third-man runs — the receiver is rarely the answer; it's who moves for the receiver
- CDM and CMs: position your body between pressure and the next pass lane
- Wingers and fullbacks: stretch the grid wide to create the central pockets
Progressions
- Remove one neutral to force tighter decisions under pressure
- Add a directional goal: team scores by playing into a target player on an end line
