Setup & instructions

Mark a 10x10 yard square with four cones. Four attackers spread around the outside, one per side, with one ball. Two defenders start in the middle. Attackers score a point for six consecutive passes; when a defender wins the ball or forces it out, the attacker responsible swaps with the defender who has been in longest.

Setup time: 2 min

Coaching focus

FROM SESSION PLAN

Coaching points

  • Head up before the ball arrives: scan both defenders and your two passing options
  • Receive with the back foot and take your first touch away from pressure
  • Move along your line to create a new angle the moment your neighbour receives
  • Pass with pace: a slow pass invites the interception
  • When both defenders press the ball, the splitting pass through the middle is on, play it firmly

Common mistakes

  • Standing still on the cone instead of adjusting along the line
  • Taking the first touch inside the grid into the defenders' cover shadow
  • Forcing the split pass when the lane is closed

Progressions & regressions

VARIATIONS

Progressions

  • Limit attackers to two touches, then one touch
  • Award a bonus point for a completed split pass between both defenders
  • Shrink the grid to 8x8 yards

Regressions

  • Grow the grid to 12x12 yards
  • Allow unlimited touches
  • Start with a single defender (4v1)
