Split the players into 2 teams with 1 team being the defenders and the other is attackers. The defenders job is to beat the press and play out from the back and to score into 1 one of the 2 goal placed at halfway. While the attackers job is to press the defenders and force them to make a mistake and score. However if they win it while the defenders are attacking 1 of the 2 goals, try and play long/through balls forcing the defenders to drop quickly into position.
