“This drill is an easy and efficient way to teach
players about movement with and without
the ball. It is also a useful drill to teach quick
transition from offense to defense and how
to pressure your opponent defensively. This
drill is a great way to incorporate functional
principles on possession and how to
implement that into a game like situation,
it will keep all players working hard while
making it fun and challenging.”
Design
• Create a grid approximately 50 yd by 60
yd (use as much open space as possible)
• Create three teams of five players. Have X=player
two teams in the middle of the grid and the y=player
remaining team on the perimeter, spread o= player
out players so there is almost an equal
number on each side of the grid.
• The two teams in the grid play a
possession game such as Keep Away.
• The team with possession of the ball can
use the players on the outside of the grid
as support. However, the players on the
outside have a limited number of touches.
For example: start by allowing players in
the grid to have “unlimited touches” while
the outside grid players are only allowed
two touches. Once the concept catches
on, reduce the number of touches (e.g. 2
touches in the grid, 1 touch outside the
grid).
• The object of the drill is for a team to
have a consecutive number of passes
(say 10) without losing possession of the
ball. The perimeter players are there to
help maintain possession; their passes
is not included in the 10. Once that is
achieved, then the losing team switches
with the team outside the grid, and the drill
continues.
