On a half-field, place a goal on the halfway line facing the regular goal. Form 3 teams of 6 players including a goalkeeper. Place 2 teams on the field and 4 players from the 3rd team behind the goal lines, on each side, to play as deep supports. The remaining 2 players rest.

The teams must shoot at the goal with a maximum of 4 passes. 2 touches are allowed and shots must be taken with one-touch play.

Going for a "deep support" behind the goal line is not necessarily natural in a game situation, and it gives a considerable advantage to the attacking team. This is entirely normal and is the intended effect of this exercise. It will allow for practicing quick passing in an attacking situation. Therefore, encourage initiative and shooting at the goal.
