THE SESSION:
Split the players into three groups of four. Starts with pass in from Coach. Two teams play 4v4 in one half of the pitch, with the other four players around the sides of the pitch.
PROGESSIONS:
The team in possession can use these players to help keep possession. The team in possession makes five passes in a row and then the ball is played to the neutral player at the other end of the pitch and the game moves into that half, with possession remaining with the same team. If the defending team wins the ball, they must get it to the player in the other square and they keep possession.
KEY MESSAGES/POINTS:
Helps to teach pressing and counter attacking.
Good for possession play and getting players to try to quickly close down. It’s also good for working on cutting down angles, intercepting and forcing mistakes, plus for attacking skills like shielding, first touch, passing and movement.

THE SESSION: Possession with 3 teams. The defending teams must have a bib before they can defend. The other 2 teams try to keep possession. Once the defending team wins the ball or forces it out of play they drop the bibs and transition to offense while the team that lost the ball picks up a bibs and transitions to defense.
