Organization:

- 30x30 yard grid

- 3 pinnies

- 2 balls (extras on outside of grid)

Instructions:

- 3 Players start off as defenders holding the a pinnie each in their hand.

- Defenders must look to simply touch a ball or force a ball out of play via a bad pass/touch from an attacker, if they do this the attacker who lost possession takes the pinnie and becomes a

defender and the previous defender becomes an attacker.

- Attackers must help each other to keep possession of both soccer balls.

Coaching Points:

- Communication

- Awareness of space/pressure etc.

- Try to play to back foot and turn to switch ball in other direction when receiving if possible

- Quality/weight of passes.
