🔥 Direct Counter From Deep (Low Block) | 08-P14

This 11 v 11 game takes place on a full-sized pitch and focuses on mastering the low block and executing direct counters from deep. The defending team adopts a 442 low block, while the attacking team lines up in a 433 formation. The attackers will start by building up play swiftly in Phase 1 against only two defending strikers. If defenders win the ball in Phase 2, it sparks a 6 v 7 counterattack. Should defenders regain possession deep in their own half, they seek the two strikers as outlets for a rapid counterattack. Midfielders and wingers provide vital support, bolstering the attack with numerical advantage. 

🎉 Passing Zones Race | Warm Up (WU-35)

Players love a bit of competition! In this engaging team race, players focus on passing and speed. Divided into 3 teams of 4, each player must pass once before the team can advance to the next zone. In the final zone, the last player must finish in the mini goal. The team to finish first wins! We can add more of a challenge by altering the order of the zones when progressing, ensuring players need to maintain their concentration throughout. Lot's of variations in this one to keep your players engaged! 🙌

🔥 Improving Final Third Combinations - 11 v 11 | 07-P14

This 11 v 11 practice unfolds on a full-sized pitch, developing build up and final third combinations. The attacking team, in a 443 formation, faces off against a defending team in a 352 setup. In the initial phase, a 6 v 4 situation challenges the possession team to create space and deliver a penetrating pass to their CDM (Blue 6). Once penetrated, the CDM advances to a 5 v 3 zone, aiming to combine and release wingers in the "No Pressure Zones" for penetrating runs and crosses. Inside the box, a 4 v 3 scenario unfolds, with attackers focused on finishing. If defenders gain possession in Phase 1, they counter in a 4 v 6 setup. In Phase 2, a 5 v 7 counter ensues, and in Phase 3, a full-field counterattack takes place.

Hi all, I'm struggling a bit to find the right examples. I need to make a training creating space for a fellow player and utilizing it. Any tips?
