Set Up:
14 players are set up on a split field, playing 3v2 with players starting from the sideline. During the game, the attacking team (Players 1, 2, and 3 in black) starts in the defending half, and the defenders (Players 1 and 2 in red) may not cross over the midfield line. Play continues 3v2 to completion from there. On a goal or a turnover, the ball starts with the goalkeeper and the direction of play reverses. The two defenders (Players 1 and 2 in red) stay on the field and become attackers, and one new attacker (Player 3 in red) enters play. Two new defenders (Players 4 and 5 in black) enter the field in the other half, and play continues from there.
Coaching Points:
1. Curve your run to the ball and force the play in one direction.
2. Drop straight back into the center after your man passes the ball.
3. The 2nd defender must be able to cover passes to both the right and left.
Progressions:
1. Add a third defender after the third pass is made.
