Shift, Squeeze, Drop

Improve defensive structure and reactions to opposition movement by shifting across the pitch, squeezing space centrally, and dropping to protect key defensive areas.

• Two teams compete on a half-pitch. • Black team: 8 players, focusing on defensive organisation and defending the mini-goals. • Blue team: 9 players, including a goalkeeper, defending the big goal. • The game always starts from the Blue team, who must build up from the back while the Black team defends. • Black team can send a maximum of one player to press in the build-up zone. • The Blue team need to score in the mini-goals and the Black team need to shuffle across and defend them. • Rotate roles after a set time.
