Make sure your players provide support to their team-mates by using this session, developing your attacking play with an extra man, giving your team the best chance of scoring. We also improve your team's defending with one less player, so they are never left short at the back!
With plenty of communication, accurate passing and off the ball movement, your players can make perfect use of the extra man when going forward. Draw the defender in and use the overlap to create a dangerous attack, creating goal-scoring opportunities for your team.
