Organisation

Cones are used to create a square.
It's divided in 2 areas A and B.
The players and equipment are arranged as shown.
6 players take part in the exercise, 4 attackers and 2 defenders.
In case we have more players they can be resting players.
Of course the game can be played with 2 or 3 groups.
The players change their positions for the coach' sign.

Description and Graphics

3 attackers possess the ball with 2 or 3 touches against 1 defender in Zone A. After a few passes one of the 3 attackers makes a deep pass to hit the opposite striker on the other side of the grid.
When it's managed, 2 wing-players move to zone B, the central player stays in position. After the deep pass, the defender runs out and the other sided defender sprints into Zone B 
Then the game continues the same way in Zone B.
In case the defender intercepts the ball, he passes it back to one of the attackers.
Load: 20-60 sec. Rest: 30-75 sec.
