???? Setup

  • 20x20 yd grid divided into 4 equal quadrants (10x10 each)

  • 5 attackers vs 2 defenders

  • Use cones or flat markers to define quadrants

✅ Objective

  • Attackers: Keep possession and complete 10 passes

  • Defenders: Win the ball back together in the same quadrant to earn a point

⚙️ Rules

  • Defenders only earn a point if:

    • They win the ball

    • Both are inside the same quadrant when the ball is won

  • If attackers complete 10 passes, they earn a point

  • Rotate defenders every 60–90 seconds

???? Coaching Points

  • Defenders:

    • Press in pairs, not solo — communication is key

    • Angle of approach — force play into a trap

    • Stay compact and shift as a unit between quadrants

  • Attackers:

    • Quick movement and body orientation to escape pressure

    • Awareness of defenders’ location

    • One- and two-touch play

???? Progressions

  • Limit touches for attackers (2-touch max)

  • Add a neutral player in the middle to aid possession

  • Reward defenders for forcing play into a quadrant, even if not winning it
