Set-up

7v7 (three outfield players rotate in and out as neutrals). Score by completing six passes in a row, then immediate press trigger on turnover — team that loses possession has 3 seconds to win it back or they concede a point. Play four-minute games.

Coaching points

  • Gavin Kochel — channel that energy into the pressing trigger, lead the transition chase
  • When you have the ball, slow down and be deliberate; when you lose it, sprint
  • Communication: name or colour, not just shouting

Progressions

  • Reduce pass target from six to four to speed up play
  • Add two mini-goals to create a scoring element alongside the pass-combination target
