See the guidance at the top of this page to understand why you are not seeing interactive Football/Soccer images.
Set-Up: 4 manneuqins create a central small box which is 10yds by 10yds, outside box is created with 4 corner markers only. and this box should be 25x25yds.
Organisation: 4 balls, 1 in each corner then 2 players at every corner for the 2 boxes.
Rules: Ball is played from outer box to players on inner box, all 4 corners/balls go at the same time. Inner box players receive the ball and take their 1st touch towards another corner. For ease, go in a clockwise direction, as per the pink lines. After 1.5mins change direction.
Progression:
1. Scan and Check: Have the 2nd player at the inner box corners hold their hand up with a number and the first player must scan and check their shoulders, shout out the number and receive and pass the ball.(Secondary overloading-mental preparation) If that goes well have the 1st inner players scan and check and see where the outer box player is, they are are closest to the ball they can play a 1-2 if not then the outer box receiver can just go and restart the play.
2. Support play: Have 2nd player on inner box play the diagonal pass out, as per the blue lines. Rotation for players would be outer corner, 2nd inner player, 1st inner player. This will allow for third man run and additional mental thinking.
If that progression goes well add a 1-2 in the corner before the ball gets played in.
