Set-up

Six keep, three press. When the three win the ball two of them join the six and whoever gave it away forms the new pressing trio with one partner. Continuous.

Coaching points

  • Receivers: half-turn where possible; face the field, not the ball
  • Passers: play into the leading foot — make it easy to receive and go forward
  • Pressing trio: press as a unit, cut passing lanes, don't just chase

Progressions

  • Shrink the grid to 12x12 to force faster decision-making
  • Limit to one touch for the player closest to the pressing trio
