Lesson 16:
6v6 INTO 6V4 GAME (PART 3)
This session is a directional 6v6 game with a potential 6v4 counter-attack. The pitch is divided into two zones: the main playing zone and the finishing zone.

Scoring in the mini-goal located in the middle of the pitch (as shown in Diagram 1) earns Team A 2 points.
Alternatively, they can dribble through one of the wide gates and enter the finishing zone to deliver a cross for a teammate to finish
When two players from Team A are in the finishing zone, the coach serves a new ball into the main playing zone, initiating a 6v4 counter-attack for Team B.
The counter-attack scenario is shown in Diagram 3. After completing their attacking move in the finishing zone, the two Team A players aim to recover quickly and transition back into a 6v6 situation in the main playing zone.
If Team B wins possession before Team A scores, they are free to launch a counter-attack immediately.
By incorporating these elements, the session focuses on directional play, counter-attacking, and effective transitions between attack and defence.
