Distribution under pressure
Keeper and two centre-backs play out against two pressing forwards, aiming to pass or dribble through side gates 25 m from goal.
Rules
- Server plays a back pass to the keeper to start
- Defending side scores through either 4 m side gate
- Forwards score in the goal if they win the ball
- One minute of rest every four attempts
To make it harder
- Add a third forward and a defending midfielder as an option
- Allow the keeper to go long only into a 15 m zone near halfway
Coaching points
- Open body shape to see both sides
- First touch away from the nearest forward
- Pass to the receiver's far foot
Common mistakes
- Receiving square-on, leaving only one option
