5v2 (or 3)

To improve quick passing, scanning, movement off the ball, and pressing reactions in tight spaces. Encourages decision-making in numerical superiority and defending in small groups.

• Body shape to receive – open up and be ready to play forward or switch quickly. • Scan before receiving – know your next pass. • Tempo and rhythm – move the ball quickly with minimal touches (max 2 touch ideally). • Communication – constant awareness of pressure and options. • Movement off the ball – create passing angles, don’t stay in a flat line. • Pressing defenders – coordinate movements, don’t dive in, force mistakes.
