Practice 90

Set up……..

Area – 35 x 35. 12 players and 4 mini goals.

It's a possession session 8 v 4 keep away. (Red and yellow combine versus whites.

1. The team of 8 must retain the ball for as long as possible.

2. If whites win the ball they play 'all-in' with the whites trying to score on any of the small goals.

3. The team of 8 must react quickly and press to win the ball back.

Variation:

Move to 6 v 6 with two goals. Each team defending their own goal.

Coaching points:

Look what happens in transition to losing the ball.

Even though the team press the ball, the have to have good cover and balance.
