Organization

Set a 24x20m pitch with two vertical half-space corridors marked inside the touchlines. Play 3v3 toward mini-goals. Award a bonus if a team combines through a half-space before scoring.

Coaching Points

Occupy different vertical lanes | Receive side-on in the half-space | Use quick wall passes and third-man runs | Avoid crowding the corridor | Accelerate after breaking the line

Progressions

  • Require the final assist to come from a half-space corridor.

Regressions
