Possession game with availability and depth (counter-attack)
- 15 min
- 7 players
- 7v7
- 5v5
- Counter-attack
About 7 players, area 25x15 m (1/4 of a 7v7 pitch), balls, bibs. 6–7 players per ball. The team keeps the ball within the team. Every time a player receives a pass, a won ball is simulated – then the teammates must quickly make themselves available. Progression 1: Goalkeepers on both short sides who must be available. Progression 2: Defenders who try to win the ball and pass to either goalkeeper.
What the coach should look for
- The ball carrier: take the ball into new space, forwards if possible, otherwise backwards.
- Teammates: quickly make yourselves available forwards and backwards when the team wins the ball.
- Press the ball carrier immediately after losing possession.
