Counter-Attacking From Deep 2

This document provides instructions for organizing a practice to work on counter-attacking skills for players aged 12-16. The practice divides the field into zones for 7v7 play, with the goal of teams transitioning from defense to offense quickly after regaining possession. Key points of emphasis are initiating counter-attacks rapidly after gaining the ball, passing the ball swiftly and accurately, and making well-timed supporting runs to create scoring chances within 10 seconds.
