Duration

18 min

Players (min–rec–max)

10–10–10

Equipment

3 balls, cones

Set-up

Two teams of five. Keep possession — a team scores a point for ten consecutive passes. Spare balls around the edge so the coach can pop one in and keep it flowing when the ball goes out.

Coaching points

  • Find the free player — there's always one if you look
  • Support the ball carrier on both sides; one option is a trap
  • Win it back immediately when you lose it — don't switch off

Progressions

  • Reduce to eight passes for a point — quicker tempo
  • Add two neutral players who always play with the team in possession
