This drill focuses on keeping possession, passing, receiving, movement, and angle of support, and awareness of surrounding players.
Drill setup- Start with building a 20x20 grid.
- Create 3 teams of 3.
- Each team should be a different color (one team yellow, red, and white).
- Instruct the yellow team to be defense first.
- The other two groups, red and white, are responsible for keeping possession among the 2 groups.
- If the defending team (yellow) wins the ball, the team who made a mistake becomes the defending team. For Example, if red has a bad first touch into the defender (yellow), then the red team would become defense, and the yellow and white teams keep possession from the red team.
- Any ball played out of the grid is considered a loss of possession by that group, and that group should become defense.
- For lower level players, rotate the defenders every 2-3 minutes rather than automatically switching after loss of possession.
- Adjust the size of the field to make it more or less challenging
- Restrict the number of touches per player
