-Game last 7 seconds, Players switch roles every time.

Coaching Points:

1. Space ahead of so attack it at speed

2. Reconition of defenders position

3. Defender behind you then acclerate

4. Alongside you (space ahead) then pretend to turn but keep going forward

5. Alongside you (space behind) then turn

6. Defender ahead of you then turn

7. Once attacker has yard of space look to cut across defender.

Progressions:

The finish line (blue lines) is now behind the defenders so attackers have 7 seconds to create space and cut across defenders pathway and across the line. Defenders are trying to tag attackers when they enter their Zone.

Organization: Players work in pairs, everyone is working at the same time.

Instructions:

1. Player w/ ball dribbles into middle of area, performs given stop-start.

2. When player reaches end of area, he performs turn.

2. Defender is live once attacker crosses coned line (defender can move, just can't take ball before attacker enters space).

3. Attacker gets point for getting into space, 2 additional for scoring goal.

Coaching Points:

- As soon as cross comes in from right side, coach calls "left" and the process is repeated on the left side.

- Play for 5 minutes then rotate pairs

Coaching Points:

- Can you drive past defender (big touch) or use stop start to find room for cross?

- If defender blocks line, can you cut inside or turn to protect ball?
