Counter-Press Trigger Game — 6v6+2 in Transition

6v6 with 2 neutrals always supporting the team in possession. On turnover, the team that lost the ball has 5 seconds to win it back before the opponent can advance past the halfway line. Intense, high press, competitive.

• Press the ball carrier immediately on turnover — kill space, don't drop off
• Nearest two players press; rest set a new defensive shape behind
• Wingers (Wright, Brooks): your defensive tracking starts here — no excuses

• Reduce counter-press window to 3 seconds — demands faster recognition
• If press is beaten, 2 points for the counter-attacking team to reward clean transitions
