Session 3: Playing Out of Pressure
Game starts with a 4v2 in a 5x5 yard space. When the focus team wins the ball, they look to find one of their 4 teammates outside the outer 15x15 yard space. If they are successful, the game now becomes a 6v4 in the entire space.
Win the ball then immediately look to find a teammate outside the grid. Focus on the supporting angles of the teammates and the weight and angle of the exit pass to leave the space.
Move the ball quickly and score a point for every 4 passes they complete. If the focus team can play the ball to their teammates, look to win the ball, and play back to the small box inside the space.
Can make both grids larger.
