Diamond.
coaching points: heads up, good first touch, receive in direction of pass or movement,
 accurate pass with pace.

**Corners transition game
40x20 grid, 6v6 - 4v4 inside grid w/ 1 target player outside each corner (on short side)
 (players from same team at opposite corners).  Play 4v4.  Score by completing pass to
 target player.  Passer and player from same team switch on completed pass (corner player
 must receive ball outside of the grid).  Cannot score at the same corner twice in a row.
coaching points: D must quickly react to pass and change in direction, immediate pressure
 on the ball, 2nd D cut off passing lanes, 3rd D removes other attacking options.

**Get Out of Here!
width of half field with pugg goals.  4v4v4.  Play 4v4, with third team ready to go.  If
 the ball goes out of bounds, the team it was off of must leave the field and the outside
 team comes on, But the team remaining on the field does not have to stop playing!  Team
 staying on the field can yell: "get out of here!".  Play 10 min, then rest, then 10 min.
coaching points: team on field must transition to O immediately to take the advantage,
 team coming on field must recover to D fast to avoid score.  Communication is key!

**6v7 scrimmage full field or to pugg goals
coaching points: immediate pressure on ball, immediate recovery to D, bending runs to cut
 off attackers angle to goal, communication, full team plays D!
