How it's set up
Practice 2 of Theme 15 Creating Space is a 6 v 3 practice and focuses on specific detail around movement to create space for themselves and teammates in a 25 by 25 yard area. We first of all look at how the 6 in possession can play through the defending 3 before looking to play around after manipulating defenders positions. Can they draw players into spaces to exploit, can they move the ball quickly under pressure. Make sure to rotate central players every 2-3 minutes
Key coaching points
- Movement to create space for teammates. Draw pressure to play around

- Pivot player(s) to connect in centra areas to play through. First touch and effective pass is a given
