- Level:
- Intermediate
- Duration:
- 25 min
- Recommended age:
- ["senior"]
Description
Defensive objective: - Push the defensive line up to reduce space and catch opposing strikers offside. - Balance between the defensive line and the midfield line. Offensive objective: - Get in behind the defensive line with a run into space. - Beat the offside trap with dribbling. Conditioning rule: - Zone 1, where possession is played. - Zone 2, free space to occupy. Notes: - Always start the drill in Zone 2, with a backward pass from the striker to their pivots. - If the defending team intercepts, they try to progress quickly towards the midfield line to score; the team that lost possession must press immediately after losing the ball. If they recover it, the drill starts again from the beginning.
