Objective of the Practice:
This is a great practice to help improve team possession. The pressure is incrementally increased as more
pressurizing players are added.
Field Preparation:
 Area 30 x 30 yards. Large group of players. 1 ball. Cones. Colored bibs.
Coaching Points:
Start the practice with one entire group within a grid 30 yards by 30 yards. The second group stand at the side
of the grid and has one of their players in the grid as a defender. Assign number to each player on the defending group. Play the entire group versus one defender within the grid. Players inside attempt to keep possession.
When coach calls a number, that player sprints into grid and defends. For example, with groups of 8 players, the
drill can create 8 v 1, 8 v 2, 8 v 4 etc. Change roles of teams.
Start practice with free play then develop by conditioning the drill to "two" and "one" touch passing.
