Layout:

Take away the 8 cones that were used in the middle for the last part of the drill.

Adaptations (Progressions & Regressions):

For this same sided game, the aim is for the team with the ball to create a number of passes and continuous movement and to eventually pass the ball to a player inside the corner area to gain a point for their team.

It's up to the other team to tackle them and gain possession to then allow them to make passes into that area to gain points.

Challenges, Conditions or Targets:

The list of challenges and targets you cam add to this is endless, such as limit them to only 2 touches or every player has to touch the ball before scoring a point.
