This practice is designed to develop good possession in tight areas.

Your Coaching Points:
The four attacking players attempt to keep possession from the defender and obtain 6 consecutive passes. After making 6 passes the players must pass the ball forward to the "target man" at the end-line of the opposite grid.

Once the ball has been played to the target man, players 1, 3 and 4 move to the opposite grid to support the target man. The defender follows the play and attempts to win the ball in the opposite grid. Player 2 now becomes the new target man. After obtaining 6 passes the ball is switched back to the original grid. The practice is repeated in this fashion.
