Playing out through the middle
Objective –
GameFocus/PrinciplesResetProgression
- 14 players (7 a side) on half a pitch
- The game starts with a 16
- The objective is for the defenders to break out through the middle putting pressure on the attackers
- When they break out they can score in one of the goals on the halfway line
- The “attacking” team – aka the defenders are not allowed to play into the cross hatched area
- If the Defenders (attacking team) win the ball then they look to score normally
- Playing wide dragging the attackers wide then moving into central area
- Playing high fast – looking for that long ball – breaking the press
- Through long passes
- Using screens to get the ball out through the middle with 2 touch
- Limit number of balls each to encourage no wastage
- 10 passes before attacking
- Points for high passes
