Set Up:
Play begins with a 4v2 in one of the end zones. After making 5 passes, the attackers can: (1) change the ball to the other end to create a new 4v2. (2) Play a long pass into the channel to create a 1v1 to the opposite goal (see the diagram). And (3), send an attacker in their 4v2 out into the channel to create a 1v2 to the opposite goal. When the defenders win the ball, they can pass or dribble out into the channels and attack 1v1 at any of the four goals.
Coaching Points:
1. Speed of Play – Get open early so that your team can play one and two touch soccer.
2. Decision Making – When a passing lane closes down, fake that pass and keep possession.
3. Concentration – Stay involved in the play at both ends of the field. Don’t switch off.
Progressions/Regressions:
Progression 1 – Take away Option (3). The ball must be played to the opposite end.
