Set-up
Six attackers versus four defenders plus GK in a half-field shape. Attackers try to score; if defenders win the ball they counter to two small goals at the halfway line. Swap roles after each sequence ends.
Coaching points
- Attackers: use the overload — don't force it through the middle when the wide channel is open
- Defenders: when you win it, go immediately — the counter window closes fast
- GK: talk to your defenders, you can see the whole picture
Progressions
- Reduce to 5v4 so attackers must work harder for their superiority
- Defenders score extra points if they counter within three seconds of winning the ball
