Set up

Area split into 2 halves as shown above, play starts in one side of the area and is 5v5 with one floating player that plays for the team in possession.

Aim of the session is to male at least 5 complete passes before trying to counter and break out to the other half of the pitch. If the team in possession is successful in countering out then they start to build again until they hit the 5 pass trigger and then try to counter back to the other half.

Target game with channels (30 mins)

FInish the session with a target game but add in wide channels with 2 floaters in them who play for the team in possession.

Aim is to move the ball to the target player at the end of the pitch using the floaters who will provide an overload and an outlet to move the ball from the back and counter up the field quickly.
