1. The offensive players (here in blue) start with a possession game against the 4 defenders in the large area.
2. After making at least 3 passes, they play to their teammate in the small area. No defender can press this player.
3. The player will then make a through ball behind the defense to their teammate on the opposite side.
4. This player finishes their action on the large goal.
5. If the defenders regain possession, they must score as quickly as possible on one of the 2 mini-goals.
6. Change the 2 offensive players every 3 minutes or so.

Progression

• A defender can press the player in the small area (only one).
• Players are limited to 2 touches of the ball.
• The player in the small area can participate in the possession game (which then creates a 6vs4).
• Players must make at least 5 passes before playing to the player in the small area.
• The game is played in the same way, but on the opposite side (remember to set up the cones before the start of the exercise).
