2 V 2 in each side of the circle and 4 servers around the outside. The blues have to get the ball from one set of servers on the outside to the opposite side (as above) to score. The reds have to stop them/win the ball and play to one of the outside players to score. No one can leave their areas at first. To progress, allow the attackers to move where they want and finally take the middle line away.
Key points:
– Quick play
– Blindside movements
Go high to receive short and vice versa
– Patterns of play (for example, closest CM receives short and bounces back,
CB plays through the gap into the striker who plays it round the corner)
– Keep the ball moving
-Play back if not sideways or forward
