    Jerson Daniel Alcaraz Uliambre
    This document describes a counter-attacking practice drill for a youth soccer team. The practice area is divided into four zones and teams of 3 attackers try to score past 2 defenders in each subsequent zone. If defenders regain possession, they counter-attack with an additional player. The drill focuses on quick transition from defense to offense through rotation of players and passing skills to break through lines of defenders. Coaching points emphasize control, support, changing tempo, and looking for forward passing opportunities.
