First Touch Drill - 15mins
A passes to B and presses instantly.
B receives the ball and escapes through a cone gate.
Work on making the positive touch through the gate, out side of the foot to spring through the gate. Push the ball with the first touch rather than controlling it. Keep possession of the ball.

2v1's - 20mins
A and B are defenders. C is attackers.
Defenders are not allowed to leave their half.
A passes the ball to C and comes out, making it a 2v1 in that half. If the ball is won they try and score in the mini goals/ clear the ball.
Once A passes the ball, B sprints down around the cone and prepares for the attackers to come into their half making it a 2v1 again.
C - Use the space to beat the defenders, move into open areas, know when to dribble or when to pass.
A/B - Delay the attack, block the passing lanes whilst keeping yourself between the ball and the goal.
A and B swap places after each rep.
