Set-up
Two teams of 7 play directional possession with mini-goals at each end. Score by dribbling through a mini-goal or by completing 6 consecutive passes. Teams balanced: mix high-rated and average players across both sides. W=3pts, D=1pt, added to the running camp standings.
Coaching points
- Exploit wide areas — drag defenders central and slip it out to the winger in space.
- When you win the ball, play forward fast — don't recycle when a direct route is open.
- Press as a unit on transition: two players press, rest hold shape and cut passing lanes.
Progressions
- Add a rule: goals only count if the scorer received a pass from the defensive half — rewards transition play.
- One-touch rule in the final third to sharpen decision speed under pressure.
