Organization

Play 4v4 or 5v5 in a central area with target gates beyond each end. After winning the ball, a team must complete a set number of passes before it can break out through the attacking gate.

Coaching Points

First pass after regain should be secure; spread quickly; scan forward while retaining control; recognise when the breakout is on; accelerate once the trigger is achieved.

Progressions

  • Reduce the required passes or add a recovering defender during the breakout.

Regressions

  • Increase the number of passes and widen the central area.
