5 v 2 to Penetrate

This week's exercises are from our book, 'Training Sessions from Around the World'

5 v 2

Using both halves of the field, and working at the same time, two 5 v 2 situations are set up in the middle portion of the field. The goalkeepers roll the ball out to the five players and following a minimum of three passes the team in possession can play a penetrative pass into the attacking area for a one or two-touch finish.

Progression

With only one side working at a time, if one of the two defenders intercept a pass then they can play a ball to a teammate in the other half, follow that pass and play towards the opposite goal in a 4 v 5 situation.
