  • Half Field.
  • In the middle of the half field set out a square with pawns, players are not allowed to walk through it with the ball, but are allowed to walk through it without the ball.
Set a goal; for example:
- First play with your team 4x before you can score.
- Try with at least 3 or more players in the circle to outplay the goalkeeper during the attack. Do not aim for the ball to go straight to goal when you enter the circle but look for the right passing options.
- Try to build up the attack from the sides.
- Always try to have someone at the guard.
- Put a bowl down if the attack threatens to fail.
- You can also say; the ball must go around the back of the box per new attack if they are going to be huge on a bowl.
- -. Or if a goal attempt fails that then the ball must first be taken out of the circle before a new attempt may be made.

Additional difficulty: always enlarge the box if the attack goes well

Questions to the players:
- What is the best way to set up an attack?
- What is the best way to defend an attack?
- Which side do you want to guide the attacker to when you are defending?
- Which side do you want to attack from?
drawing 6 against 6 attacking exercise
4 defenders in the bowl -build up-, 2 midfielders, 3 strikers.

  • From the bowl play around without pressure.
    • With pressure: 3 defenders - opponents and goalkeeper in the circle.
  • The 2 midfielders offer themselves from the axis to the back where the ball goes.
    • Not being played on is to the line and back to the axis. Not passing to the long passing line.
    • To be played on is to open and then pass to the pendant striker or the wing striker. After play-off continue to offer in the guard position.
  • The two wing strikers offer themselves to the 23 meters.
  • The striker on the attack offers himself to the front circle.
  • The wing striker on the supporting side looks for scoring position at the far post.
