Possession Drill

Set up

15 players in total - grouped into 3 teams of 5

36 x 24 pitch dimensions

Key Coaching Points

Theme of the drill is to encourage forward passing

The team in possession have to try and pass into one of the two small coned off areas

Each are has a player who must recieve the ball and play to the opposite square

The team who played the ball in to the square continues to be in possession of the ball and plays in the opposite direction.

The spare player in the middle plays for the team in possession. Ideally this player needs to be one of the central midfielders as his/her passing patterns will replicate what they do in a game.
