Attacking Combination Play — Final Third Patterns

9v9 in the final third only. Attacking team starts from outside the area and must combine their way to a shot. One-touch inside the box if possible. No long shots until a wall pass or overlap has been made first. Rotate teams every six minutes.

• Play into feet, then play into space — don't skip the combination
• Overlap from the full-back is available every time the winger cuts inside; use it
• Final pass into the box: play it early enough for the forward to attack it moving forward

• Remove the no-long-shot condition and see if they've internalised the pattern
• Add a third defender to make the final third more congested and realistic
