Players: 8 players per grid. 4 attackers along the outside. 2 defenders in the middle.

6. Cues to press: bad touch, bad pass, bounce, indecision, etc.

Progression:

2. Allow outside attackers to enter the grid.

Questions: Who pressures the ball? Who offers support? What can I tell my teammate when supporting them? If first defender is beat, now what?
