5v2 Grid

Setup:

Set-up four cones to form a square that’s about 12 yards by 12 yards. Five attackers will be inside the cones (grid) and the rest of the players will pair up and be defenders.

Execution:

1. The first pair of defenders will pass the ball into the attackers and step inside the grid.
2. The defenders will try to steal the ball or kick it out of the grid while the attackers will try to pass the ball around and keep possession.
3. Once the ball is stolen or kicked out then the defenders will go off and two new defenders will pass the ball in and step into the grid.
4. The same five attackers will stay on.

Coaching Tips:

• The five attackers will get plenty of practice keeping possession of the ball. They will need to run to get open and they’ll need to communicate.
