Working on both sides (red and black) the boys will pass the ball to the centre of the pitch and start running down the line. The middle defender player will play the ball to the MM whill one touch it back to the player who started, this player will then pass a through ball to the attacker on the edge of the circle who will shoot as quick as possible. After 5 minutes or so bring the guys in and really focus on getting them to get a low body position where they can past fast without slowing their running. For the last 10 minutes get Felix, Pieter, Niels and Tim to play as defenders (mandekking) the forwards (two on each side rotating between themselves).
