Drop deeper to receive to allow opportunity to “face up” defender.

Progress into 2v2

Players dribble around cones & finish into the samba goal. Dependant on which team finishes first, their team-mate initiates 2v2 by entering the pitch with via a pass or dribble.

Coaching Points:
Reaction to attack / defend
