Description
Based on a FIFA Talent Coach Programme exercise. Five attackers try to score quickly against three defenders. When the attack ends with a goal or a shot, two players enter from the sides, the coach plays a new ball to the defending team, and they counter-attack the other goal 5v5.
Organisation
40x25m area with a full goal and a keeper at each end. Three teams: five attackers, three defenders and two waiting players outside the area. The coach stands on the side with a ball pile. Each attack has 10 seconds. Change the roles after every five attacks.
Coaching points
- Attack fast while you have the extra players: play forward early.
- Find the player between the lines and support the ball carrier.
- Finish with few touches before the defence recovers.
- After the attack, switch on at once: the attackers become defenders.
