Attacking the final third
BELOW IS A PRACTICE TO help your team penetrate through the middle and support the attacker in the final third.
Warm Up
Set up and instruction: Split the group into 3 teams of 4 (yellow, blue and red). Two teams play against 1 team to keep possession. Here the yellow and red combine to keep the ball away from the blue team, if a team looses possession they swap roles with the defending team.

Impose dribbling to commit defenders before passing and combining.
Coaching points:
- Weight and timing of pass
- Support play off the ball, timing of runs and angle of support
- Quick speed of play

Main Drill
Set up and Instruction:

The game is 6v6 possession (red v green) with 2 neutral players who play for the team in possession (blue)
Players can move freely around the whole area, however you can only make a maximum of 3 passes in 1 quarter of the grid.
Play 2 touch and 8 passes = 1 goal.

- Look for longer passes to break the pressure and keep possession
- Communication

Goals can be scored from anywhere on the field (not just the striker)
