Lesson 15:
6v6 COUNTER ATTACKING GAME (PART 2)
This session focuses on developing counter-attacking skills in a 6v6 game played on a split pitch.
PART 1: ATTACKING TEAM
Team B starts with the ball in their own half and aims to make 10 passes before progressing into Team A's half to score a goal.
If Team B successfully scores, the game transitions to the other half, and Team A becomes the attacking team.
PART 2: DEFENDING TEAM
If Team A wins the ball, they must quickly transition into an attacking mindset and attempt to score as fast as possible.
If they score, the game continues in the same half, and Team B restarts from their goalkeeper.
DEVELOPING THE PRACTICE
Adjust the number of passes required for Team B to progress if they find it challenging.
Introduce a variation where the team that regains possession can score with just one pass, earning 2 points.
This encourages forward passes and dynamic attacking runs.
By playing this game, players will improve their ability to execute effective counter-attacks, make quick decisions under pressure, and demonstrate efficient passing and finishing skills. Continuously provide feedback and encourage forward-thinking play to enhance the effectiveness of counter-attacking strategies.
