Possession Under Pressure — 10v6

Ten possessing players keep the ball from six pressers in a defined grid. Three-touch maximum to start. Teams rotate after four minutes. Focus on maintaining composure and structure when pressed — a direct response to the pressing drill they just ran from the other side.

• If you can't play forward, play back — never sideways into a press
• Move the ball before the press arrives, not after it's on you
• GK included as an extra passing option — get comfortable using them

• Reduce to two touches to force earlier decisions
• Award points for playing through the grid rather than around it — rewards incisive passing
