Set-up
10 attackers maintain possession against 6 defenders in a defined zone. Attackers score a point for every 8 consecutive passes. Defenders score by winning the ball and dribbling out of the zone. Rotate defenders every 4 minutes.
Coaching points
- Move the ball before the press arrives — the pass that beats the press is the one you see two seconds early
- Hugo and Peter: when we have the ball, your job isn't to just sit — offer angles to recycle under pressure
- Ray: your positioning strength is gold here — read where the gaps are before the ball comes to you
Progressions
- Reduce to 9v6 by removing a neutral to increase pressure on possession team
- Increase the pass target from 8 to 12 consecutive to stretch concentration
