Set-up
Four groups of five. One man in the middle pressing. Rotate the man in the middle every 90 seconds. Keep it simple — two-touch maximum, short passes only.
Coaching points
- Body shape open before the ball arrives
- Weight of pass — not too hard, not casual
- Move after you pass; don't stand and watch
Progressions
- Reduce to one touch to sharpen sharpness
- Introduce two players in the middle (5v2) for extra pressure
