Rondo 4v1 (10 mins)

Set-Up: Groups of 4, 3 around 1.

Drill: Players are to play keep-away from the one player in the middle, moving the ball around the outside of the square. When the player in the middle disrupts the possession, he switches with the player on the outside that made the mistake. There is an open side, and players can rotate between the sides in order to make better angles.

Focus of the Drill: Keeping possession, using the correct foot, good decision-making, receiving the ball across the body, playing quickly, moving before the pass is made.

Variations: Add another defender, increase/decrease the size of the grid, include a touch limit

6v2-Switch (15 mins)

Set up: Grid, divided into two equal halves. Split players into two equal teams, one on each side.

Drill: Players are playing possession in their half of the grid. The defending team will send two defenders across to try and win the ball. If they succeed, their objective is to turn and play the ball to their team on the other side. 1 point for 5 passes, 1 point for successfully winning the ball and playing across to your team.

Focus of this drill: Passing and moving, making good decisions on the ball, effectively keeping possession. This drill can also help with transition from offense to defense and vice versa, as well as defending when outnumbered.

Variations : Increase the number of defenders sent across. This will make less space for the offense to utilize.
