Advanced form of warm up. Start with 6v4.

3 CENTER BACKS.
In this drill, a 3rd defender is added. 3 center backs formation, the small box in the middle is for one defender to mark a forward in there.
The whistle blows and the players start their physcial part by running around the poles and cones. The coach sends the ball at one side, this is when both teams start their roles based on the side. The forwards has to finally send the ball to their mate inside the small zone. When forwards successfully send the ball to the small zone, they win 1 point, and one extra if they score. However, defenders don't gain a point till they win the ball and finish the attack. This will put more pressure on them.

CONSTANT FINISHING
Alternatives:
This drill will also work with the player who lays the ball off getting the ball and going back to the start
Progressions:
**The ball can be played in the air to work on controlling from the air and volleys/half volleys
**The player who plays the long pass to the corner can then defend against the player who is going to shoot meaning they will need to have good movements to create space and get a shot. And the wall pass player will need to lift their head to find the striker and not the defender

2 GOALS
This a little more demanding game. 2 goals at each end putting defenders under more serious pressure for the protection of any of the 2 goals. They even undergo more pressure by the addition of one player into the attacking team.
