Set-up
Groups of 5 — four on the outside, one in the middle. One-touch passing encouraged. Rotate the middle every 60 seconds. Keep it light, keep it competitive, keep it moving. This is not a fitness drill — it is touch and feel.
Coaching points
- Two touches maximum — if you need three you're making it harder for yourself
- First touch into space, not into your feet
- Smile — this is the easy part of the week
Progressions
- One-touch only rule for groups that are moving the ball well
- Add a second defender to make it 4v2 for groups that need the extra challenge
