This activity encourages your team to play defence-splitting forward balls from the midfield into the attack.
Coaches young players to time their runs and passes in key areas of the pitch.
Balls, bibs and cones, in a 30x30-yard area with a two-yard square in the centre. Nine players are used in the example.
Play six attackers against three defenders. The attacking team must pass and create space so a player can run into the box and receive a pass in there – the defence-splitting pass. The defenders have to touch the ball out to score a point.
