Set-up
Two groups of five. Four on the outside of a small square, one in the middle trying to win the ball. If the middle player wins it or it goes out, the player who lost it goes in the middle.
Coaching points
- Move off the ball — give the player on the ball an easy option
- First touch away from pressure, not into it
- The one in the middle works hard for a few seconds, not forever — stay sharp
Progressions
- Move to 4v2 — two defenders in the middle
- Limit outside players to two touches
