Both teams objective is to score in the small goals.
After the first pass out of the drop off zone, the defending team try to win the ball back as quick as possible and score in the small goals.
Steps up or down:

Team Task
Press as a group to force mistakes and win the ball on the opponents defensive third.
Player Task
If you think you can win the ball, be aggressive and pressure the opponent to win the ball, force a mistake or force the opponent to play backwards or square.
When close to the ball and the opponent passes backwards, can you quickly press one of their possible passing options?
If you are too far away to win the ball back, can you drop and block a passing lane?
Can you communicate with your team mates, when to press the ball and when to drop off and block passing lanes.

Session Objective
Football Problem: Not Pressing in numbers in opponents defensive third.
Session Objective. In this session I aim to improve our ability to collectively press the opponent when they are playing out from the back to create goalscoring opportunities.
The passing practice starts with player A who passes to B and runs towards the cone where player C is stationed. As the ball is travelling to Player B, C puts passive pressure on player B's touch.
B cuts C out game with his first touch and passes to the opposite end where D is stationed.
Player C takes the position of player B and waits for the ball to come back around.
D continues the sequence and passes E, then back to A and continue araound
Step up/variation
Change direction - Left Foot passes.
Introduce more footballs.
Increase the pressing intensity from the central players
Increase the length of the area A&D positions, now when played to A & D, they play a 1–2 around the cone and continue the drill.
A& D play first time to B & E after the 1-2.
