Set-up
Two groups of ten. Seven players keep the ball from three defenders. When the three win it, they swap with the last two players who lost it. Low intensity — this is possession practice, not a fitness session.
Coaching points
- Third-man combinations — don't just play the easy pass, think one ahead
- Spread and use the whole grid; don't bunch
- Defenders: press as a unit, cut off the easiest pass first
Progressions
- Reduce to 6v3 to tighten the spaces
- Award a bonus point for five consecutive passes without the defenders touching it
