Wide and Behind Movement

Improve attacking movement by encouraging strikers to exploit wide areas and make runs in behind the defensive line.

Setup: - 7-a-side game with the pitch divided into three zones (defensive, midfield, and attacking). - Only one Striker (S) and one Defender (D) are allowed in the end zones. - The coach manages restarts by quickly playing in a new ball when the ball goes out of play. Execution: 1. Striker’s Role: - The Striker (S) can score in the big goals against the goalkeeper. - Movement must involve dropping deep, peeling wide, or making a run behind the defence. 2. Defender’s Role: - The Defender (D) can score in the mini goals if they win possession, encouraging quick transitions. 3. Game Flow: - As soon as the ball enters an end zone, the coach immediately introduces another ball into the middle to maintain intensity and fluidity.
