Organization

Use a 20x15 m area with four mini goals positioned to create different attacking directions. Play repeated 1v1 actions with immediate role reversal after turnovers.

Coaching Points

React within the first seconds of turnover; first touch after regain should be positive; recover goal-side quickly; attack the exposed space before the defender resets.

Progressions

  • Reduce recovery time or narrow the playing area.

Regressions

  • Give the recovering defender a delayed start.
